Time for a flat tax

i have no problem with the way it is now. the more you make , the more you pay. this way sounds like everyone IS paying an EQUAL percentage.

joe shmoe pays 10% of 300,000
slim jim pays 10% of 33,000

they're both paying 10% (equal percentage) but joe pays more cause he makes more.

But that is not the way it is right now.
Joe Shmoe is paying 33%
and Slim Jim is only paying 10%.

Those numbers aren't exact, but that's the way it is...the more you make the more percentage wise you are paying. The less you make, the less percentage wise you are paying. You should all pay the same percentage.

The easy answer: because the rich can afford it. I think it's ignorant to say the man who only makes 30K doesn't work for his money. I bet the guys making 30K work a whole hell of a lot harder than the manager sitting in his office making 60K.

Thanks Ross....

And that guy making 30k busting his ass works a hell of a lot harder than the burger flipper at McDonalds making 10k a year...but that guy busting his ass making 30k is taxed MORE. Your logic doesn't work.

ps- most managers busted their asses to get where they are, they shouldn't be punished for it.

There is no way for man to make it fair. I can explain how to make it fair, but there are two major problems. It would take to long to explain, and most people have too closed of a mind to let it work. Hence man will never make it fair.

Watch, it's simple...charge everyone the same percentage. Let's call it 20%.
So here is the example:
1mil / year = 200k in taxes
200k / year = 40k in taxes
100k / year = 20k in taxes
75k / year = 15k in taxes
50k / year = 10k in taxes
25k / year = 5k in taxes

You take it directly out of the paycheck and no exceptions, and poof...no April 15th, no complications etc. Of course that is about as simple as you can make it.

My idea is similar to that, but alot more in depth. It is not only a plan for taxes but for compensation and payments to anyone for anything period. Its kind of a combination of capitalism and socialism combined. That is the last I will speak of it.

I am intrigued.
PM me with some more details.
