Total BS.A flat tax is a fair tax.Why should anyone pay more than anyone else? We are all part of society. Everyone benefits from the things that taxes are supposed to pay for. Military. Roads. Police. Fire trucks and firemen. The health department. Law and order.Only liberals believe garbage like that the rich should pay proportionally more of their income as tax simply because they have more.J

The flat tax/fair tax argument is always a fun one...basically it comes down to math on the low end...and on one level BOTH ARE RIGHT. YES, a flat tax is FAIR because it taxes everyone evenly and therefore everyone is essentially pulling and equal load. The proponents would say that that is FAIR. ONE PROBLEM: To pay all the bills that percentage needs to be sufficiently high as to dig into the lower class and middle class pretty significantly and that starts impacting their standard of living much more than say your average billionaire. Once you start doing sliding scales, or other such mechanisms such as establishing a "poverty line" then you get into the whole "class warfare" issue and where do you draw the line, the issues go on and on and on.I'd personally love to see the impact of at least a flatter tax and elimination of most of the existing levels. Plus, let's be honest, with a 16 trillion dollar deficit we need to significantly increase taxes to get rid of this debt so my children don't have to pay for this mess we've made! Shesh!
Default?
Keep on kickin' the can...

And I certainly don't believe that I am entitled to even a fraction of a penny of it. I am entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Everything else is supposed to be earned.J
