I say the flat tax is either unfair to the poor or doesn't take enough from the rich, which typically results in reductions of services to the poor and is therefore unfair to the poor.

I guess what I'm saying is that the flat tax is unfair to the poor either way. I have no figures to back this up either, it's just my gut feeling.

And Tony, you would be ok with the rich paying 10%? I find that baffling.


i'm in favor of a flat tax, frink. i'm not sure what else you want me to say. 10% is too low - it should probably be closer to 20, but i was going based on the two options you outlined. i realize this sounds nutty, but if you want to tax me twice as much as somebody else, i should get twice as many votes as them. sorry, i realize that sounds all tea party nutjob. it shouldn't matter how much i make. you want to pretend that we're all equal, but then say that we're not all equal?

I don't pretend that we're all equal. We're clearly not. People who make a lot of money can afford to be taxed more, and those taxes can be used to help people who need help. Oh, and to build roads, fund police/firefighters/paramedics, maintain an army, so on and so forth. If you want to tax everyone equal and you think it should be 20%, you're just kicking poor people when they are down, and it won't provide enough money to run the government to boot.

So you think the 10% bracket should pay 35% or the 35% should pay 10%?

Either way is messed up if you ask me.

People who make the same face in every picture.

Brock was my personal favorite.

I was hoping this was going to be Brock Samson.

#1005632 Glad to be here!

what i really meant was, this person i know very well, he just suddenly removed me on facebook, he hasnt answered any of my calls and ive been out of contact with him for a while and i sorta found that person here at hongfire by google searching his username...and i noticed in his last log-in date that he hasnt been online for awhile either, so i was wondering if i take an initiative to contact him with PM in private, and pretend hes still angry at me, can he just go to moderator hongfire here to ban my ip address so that i can never visit this forum again? of course im having a good time in this forum, you guys have a close knitted community here and ive already begun to notice that but i mean if he really thinks itll be no good for me to be here.... itll be better for me to wait and see if he logs back in again will give me some relief knowing that hes still doing ok and all, if you now what i mean.

If he goes to moderator hongfire you're screwed.

If I were you, I'd wait to see if he logs back in again, and if he doesn't PM him and ask him to log in, and then once he's logged in, pretend you're angry at him and don't log in for at least...oh, I'd say two years. Then log in, and see how long it has been since he logged in. If it has been longer than 6 months times the day of the month, and your age divided by three is less than the month of the year, send him a PM and warn him that you will report him to the authorities if he doesn't log in by sunrise twenty-seven days from the day he next logs in.

Good luck!
