Where is the flat tax to even up the tax burden for all Americans?
Herman Cain proposal for a 9-9-9 flat tax was a great suggestion.
1) It would have made all rich, middle class, business owners, corporate stock holder owned business have to pay the same rate we have to without getting write off deductions.
2) We tax payers could easily keep an eye on congressional spending by easily recognizing any increase in taxation.
3) We voters could determine if our country needed a raise in taxation and if we found them supporting their own special projects off of our financial backs we could throw the bums out much more easily because they couldn't fool us like they have been doing for many decades.
So what other reasons for a fair flat tax can we tell each other. I don't have all the answers which is the best reason for providing this forum for us. If we can't agree on anything then how can we expect those who represent us to be able to agree with each other?
And PG-13 must be on the welfare take. Dust bin is a UK term and he probably shouldn't be weighing in on this anyway. We are under the impression that all of the UK is on welfare anyway and has been the influence over US and want to see us struggle like they are. Misery loves company is an accurate addage and envy is alive and well just like greed has taken over our world. This results from losing faith in God.

Herman Cain's 999 Plan is absurd . All a flat tax does is allow the wealthy to keep more and the poor pay more .
The Simpson / Bowles Plan and the similar proposal with the Gang of Six is the answer .
Three tiered tax rates : 0 - 70K = 7 % , 70 - 210 K = 14 % , above 210K ad all business income is 24 % and it ends ALL tax loopholes .

It was actually a horrible plan cloaked in the mirage of fairness.
Which makes for the worst kind.
Such simple solutions are exactly why you last idea won't work. You get a crowd to cheer them easily. But you cloak the details.
There's a reason why we can't agree. Your ideas are foolish and wrong.

In the dust bin where it belongs hopefully. You are daft if you really think simple solutions like a flat tax are the answers to a complex situation. Or,you must be one of the people who would benefit the most from such simplistic ideas,in other words you must be wealthy.
