"and also opposing any attempt to reform our corrupt and massively-over complex, loophole-ridden tax system" Dishonesty alert. Buddy is saying things about me that are not true. "You should support a flat tax rate with loophole elimination." I have told you and others many times that I would support one if it is workable. And I have already said many times that your proposed solution to pattern it after Russian or Ukranian systems that charge a flat tax of 13% to 19% is ridiculous. You're the one that wants it both ways. You claim that the "mega-rich" have Income tax loop holes that allow them to pay less taxes than others while offering a system that would allow them to pay roughly HALF of what they pay now. It is a lie. I'll prepare myself for you to say they really do have these loopholes, but not say what any of them are. That you think folks will believe you if you say it over and over and over and over and over is kind of silly. The long and the short of it is if you make a flat tax of 13% o 19% the rich will pay less and the poor will pay more. Seems to go against what you CLAIM to believe. You are right that I DO oppose liberals. Mainly because they put forth dishonest emotional arguments (like yours) that appeal to the un-educated, but do nothing to solve real problems. In this case you would exacerbate the "problem". Still waiting for an example of these "loopholes" (I won't hold my breath). Doren tried to throw a couple out for you, but was fully and completely corrected by me. She had no response, but has resorted to name calling since that post. Not surprising.
