That's quite true... In addition, it would cause a serious economic impact to all of the huge accounting and tax preparation industry supporting this complex tax system we've burdened ourselves with. But to me that's still not a good reason to keep doing what we're doing... over-haul and let the market adjust from the downsizing of the IRS and the sub-industry it spawned!!

Let's break down the math here into terms you can understand.....
YOU go to WalMart and buy a 6 pack of tube socks.
Mittens tells Bain Capital to buy the company that makes the socks.
Now the Internal Laundromat Service wants 33% of your socks.
If Mittens doesn't dodge his sock tax or stash half of his socks overseas, and actually pays his 33%, he's still got a lot of socks left over.
But if you have to give up 2 pairs of socks out of your 6 pack, that's two days next week that you can't get laid
So is a flat sock tax fair, or not?Eat Us And Smile

And this has what to do with "paying the same percentage is not paying the same percentage"? The percentage doesn't change only the amount that the percentage calculates to changes.Let's break down the math here into terms you can understand.....

I understand that 10% of a persons income making 100,000 dollars a year although a lesser amount than 10% of what a person making 1,000.000 is more of a burden considering what's left. One person has 90,000 left, the other has 900,000. But why should the guy with 900,000 left give up more than he's already given just because he has it?Comment

OK.... guess we have to break out an example that Elvis can understand too....
You have 10 Yingyang Egosteen CD's.
Best Buy's corporate warehouse has 1 million YingYang Egosteen CD's.
If both you and Best Buy have to give up 10% of your YingYang Egosteen CD's, who is losing more?Eat Us And Smile

No Shit. If someone wants to pay more taxes because they feel morally obligated then they should be able to. But that shouldn't obligate someone else with a different opinion. The same with the concept you should feel morally obligated to reinvest your extra income back into society. If you feel like it, do it. If it's your money you should be able to do whatever you want with it. As long as it's legal that is.Comment
