Mr. V
I like this sort of idea. I thought Forbes was on a good path but he had as much hope of being elected as Frank Purdue.
The system you describe could be a simple system and work fairly for all. If it's too simple and there is less need for revenuer and accountants there could be some hug resistance. If the people with money control the government, and the accountants are deeply routed to the people with money... just sounds like dead horse running.
I'm interested in all this stuff too, more of a little project to find out a little more info than just talk about wants. Like pay less! It will be interesting to see if the average person earning 600k pay 5 time more than the person earning 125k?
In a document it looks like the pres had 673,000 income and paid 207,000 in tax. I realize this info might be a bit lefty buts it's what I got.
Still in all I have yet to hear why the flat tax would be a bad thing for me.
