Kingfrog, unless we ever can agree (on both sides of the aisle) to go to a flat tax system, it will never be fair. The great majority of corporations and individuals making a million plus are paying little if any tax -- not the 39% you illustrate. And Sarah Pahlin has been an executive of a state that has one-fifth the population of the COUNTY I live in. So I'm not buying the logic that she's ready.



I agree Corporations don't pay tax. As long as we live in a Capitalist society they will never pay taxes no matter how much of a tax burden the government puts on them. They will as always pass those down to the consumer. The consumer will choose not to buy at some point but it won't matter because they will be working until JUNE just to pay THEIR taxes. All this money going to a Government!! The Government has proved over and over again it is not a good guardian of that money. Oh and if the rich don't pay taxes it's because they are INVESTING the money in tax exempt bonds and or are using that money to EXPAND their business hiring more employees.

I would love a flat tax of 25%. But that would make people whine that those who make 10 million a year get to keep 7.5 Million....Boo Hoo. But I want a CONSTITUTIONAL amendment against all income taxes and NO deductions. NONE.

The Federal Government should only be involved in protecting and defending the nation, to uphold and legislate from the constitution. Not legislate from the bench. The States should be responsible for the schools.

Obama does not want to redistribute WEALTH. He wants to redistribute INCOME....HUGE difference. Don't fool yourself the upper income bracket is paying 70% of ALL revenue going to Washington already. That's not fair in a free society. All should equally pay a percentage regardless of what they earn.

The Estate tax should be a crime. A farmer leaves 1 million worth of land to his son who is forced to sell the land to pay death taxes. on top of the taxes that have already been paid over the years on the land. That's socialism at it's best. You don't want to see the worst...but you may.
