Scout's quote-
The current tax code sucks but it won't be changed simply because the rich would actually pay more taxes than they do now. As I stated above the people making our tax laws are considered wealthy and changing the tax code would cost them money.
How true that is - Not unless it is at threat of revolution. Anyone ready to take this to the streets?
I prefer a flat tax for individuals. Allow a certain amount of money per household member, for basic living expences and above that tax every dollar earned - get rid of 90% of exemptions and all loop-holes.
As great a problem (or even greater) is government spending. Over a ten year period cut spending 25% across the board - including payroll and expenditures.
