Hey Bob, You make some very valid points. Tax policy is very complicated and I like your approach of starting with a goal: " ... tax system yields the greatest income for the national use." I also agree that "fairness" is a political judgement. But I couldn't resist quoting Bush<G>. If someone started a tax policy thread, I would post some ideas. Best to you!

"Personally I lean to the flat tax concept" Dude, nothing sends liberals off the deep end faster than talking about a "flat tax". ctj.org Flat means paying the same percentage regardless of income. Simple tax means rich people pay more (its the deduction that makes it not-flat). The difference is I don't have to hire a CPA to pay it. My favorite questions to liberals: 1. How many tax code changes did Bill Clinton propose at the beginning of his last year in office? 2. What percentage of people living under the poverty level were audited by the IRS? "one need only appeal to the ignorant to be elected" I forgive you.
