<< self employed person using a corporate structure
can really minimize their taxes and end up not
paying their own "fair share", to use the
favored lingo of the left.

Yes, that may be true......I have never been a proponent for paying more than is required......sorry if you thought I was>>

a point on which we agree!
people should not have to pay more than is required.

As for the percentage any taxpayer should pay,
I think it should be as low as possible.

That does not answer the question......low as possible could mean 0. Is that what you meant?

High tax rates have not helped any of the European
countries.

I find the Europeans have a very nice lifestyle without nearly the stress problems of Americans. >>

I think the current tax rate structure is
basically "acceptable".

I don't know about "nice lifestyles", except that
the Europeans take a lot of vacations and are
periodically on strike. The structure of the
countries is basically socialist. When it comes
time for health care, they get the shaft.

Government should not be the provider of
health care, IMO.

The European countries have been around
for centuries but have never
reached the level of the USA
in wealth, achievement, etc.

There's a reason for that.

For my part, I prefer it here, stress and all.
I'm a type A personality anyway, so I
can't escape it.<G>
