Government Isn't The Problem - Its the People!

Don't blame the damn system! The system isn't the problem. Its the damn people! The system is created by the people. The government is run by the people. The people fuck the system up.

Don't take it from me, the weird email list guy. Take it from your famous comedian - Lewis "The Pontificator" Black

Flat Tax in the US?

http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Taxes/Advice/YourRealTaxRate40.aspx

"In a study for the National Bureau of Economic Research, Boston University economists Laurence J. Kotlikoff and David Rapson have found that our all-in marginal tax rate is 40%, give or take a bit. Yes, you read that right: 40%."


I don't mind paying taxes. The infrastructure that is needed in order for myself to benefit from the people in general is an important investment. I do mind stupidity and special interests dictating where my money is. I do actually think a flat tax might be a good idea. As long as we remove all of the write offs that are given to everyone and as long as we create a special bracket for those who are in poverty or near poverty. And lastly, we would have to create a special bracket for single mothers living in poverty or near poverty.
