Al, if you're talking about the dividends, I wouldn't mind getting rid of the double-taxation, but putting the tax burden on the investor himself. Of course, libtards would call that a "corporate tax break."

That would only deepen our debt problem and leave the very richest with a nil tax burden. If you adopted the buffett rule then that would work for me.

In the end, I'm all for a flat tax. It raises the most money, and everyone pays the same percentage. Look at how well SS is funded with what is essentially a flat tax on all income up to $110K.

A flat tax is regressive and would be hell on the poorest among us, probably driving many into a different kind of dependency on the state.

In light of that, yeah, I think Romney is paying too little in taxes.

Good. His taxes would become near zero if we did what you suggested in your first paragraph.
