">>> So you do support a flat tax rate with loophole elimination?" I think a simpler system could make sense. But have not seen one put forth that would have any chance of working, nor do I have the expertise to distribute the tax load any more fairly than it is being done now. As it is now, it is more heavily weighted towards the rich, and to get it "fairer" it would have to lean the other way. Don't think the populace would support it, nor would I most likely. Gotta see it before I support it. Don't matter with you, because you just want to complain about something as near as I can tell. "This is the third time I've had to correct your incorrect statement about my 'proposed solution'!" What is your proposed solution then? To put out an idea as a good one leads me to believe you think it is better than our system. This just proves my point above that you just enjoy complaining and whining. You say too many loopholes, and you can't name ONE. You say the Ruskies have a good system, but that it has no bearing on what you think should be done. You lefties really like to complain. Taxing a couple of hundred million people fairly and eqiuetibly is not easy. Our system gives poor people a huge break (no income tax), and charges the people that make the most the highest percentage. All income tax writeoffs (loopholes as you call them) are available to all Americans, so your argument (if you can call it that) is lame. I've shown a number of times that you are just blowing hot Buddy air. Let's call it a day unless you want to SPECIFICALLY say what is unfair OR offer a plan that would be better. Then we could discuss something. As it is now the string is just you whining and complaining in a general nature, and me making fun of you. "not to mention our overly-high rates" I am glad to see that you supported Bush's tax cuts though. Was cool of him to lighten the load for everybody. I am sure he will get your vote in November.
