Fair, yes. For to you and the other Robin hood types, probably not.Nobody likes the graduated income tax, but can you think of a fairer way?
- Flat tax no deductions or loop holes. Turn the IRS into a Kinko's copy center.
-Fair use tax. You buy more shit, you pay more taxes. <--the most 'fair'
But, all of this is talking about capturing revenue for a government who has zero regard for how much they spend. US Gov is the largest employer in the world. Huge departments that are flat out useless. Somehow spending obscene amounts for military yet our technology and armament is lacking.
We need an Argentina style cut to the core. The Pentagon reigned in, The fed reigned in, politicians reigned in. Like Argentina the people in their cozy spots will cry that it is the end of the earth and also like Argentina we will come to realize it was the right choice.
How in anyone's right mind can you allow the US government whine that the citizens should "pay their fair share" when they themselves do not?
I am all for programs to help people get on their feet and we could be rocking it but instead pay for aardvark gender studies in Portugal.
