"and also opposing any attempt to reform our corrupt and massively-over complex, loophole-ridden tax system" Re: Dishonesty alert. Buddy is saying things about me that are not true. >>> So you do support a flat tax rate with loophole elimination? That's news to me (but welcome news) as you haven't said that to my knowledge before. >>> So, that's a "yes", you do support? Re: 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. >>> This is the third time I've had to correct your incorrect statement about my 'proposed solution'! I have never said that we should 'model' our tax system on Russia's new system --- or anyone else's. I have merely mentioned the IRONY that even former Communist nations have better tax systems then our decrepid amalgamation of loopholes and 'special tax preference items'... not to mention our overly-high rates.
