>>>There ought to be no income taxes on the first 20k or so, then after that, everybody pay the same %

Very well said. I agree with you on this. Some people want a free ride. They want others to pay a greater %tage of their income in taxes, while they pay the minimum. That just sounds un-American. Another reason why Gore lost. I can still hear "wealthiest 1%" in my head.
I'm sure most of us on this thread do not belong to the wealthiest 1%, but we can see the basic unfairness of forcing wealthier people to pay a greater %tage of their income in taxes.
Steve Forbes plan is close to being the fairest.
People below a certain income level pay no taxes. After that, everybody pays 17% with deductions for home-mortgage expenses etc..
