>>I'm not FOR taxes. I think our government wastes most of the money it gets. But taxes are being paid, and will be paid -it's just who pays them. Most of us have our taxes removed from our pay before we even get it. I'd like to see the same system applied to capital gains.<< spot on! the people who want low/no cap gains and low/no dividend taxes are folks like steve forbes who inherited all his investment money from daddy. can you imagine his tax rate? the flat tax is a farce, too. it is sold as simplification when a static graduated scale is equally as simple. the underlying idea is to lower taxes for the wealthy and increase them for others. i'm straightforward in my view. the top 5% of the folks pay about 70% of the taxes. the steve forbes and hannitys of the world point this out ad nauseum. what they don't tell you is that the same 5% owns about 70% of america's stuff! in CONTEXT, that seems VERY FAIR to me. how about you? ps - i agree the govt wastes a TON. but, we should just accept their selfish use of the money. otherwise, gp will call you ignorant. -lol-
