I'm asking my Congressman to sponsor a "Pocket Bill" which exempts anyone using the pseudonym of Elroy Jetson on Silicon Investor to be exempt from all taxes. That would certainly be far less expensive than running for President.

This legislation would dramatically revitalize the economy where ever I go. Why settle for a trickle-down when you can have a gusher?

I think it's pathetic that Steve Forbes puts so much effort into a Flat Tax which would cut his tax obligation by only 50%. It's exactly the sort of panty-waisted nonsense I'd expect from a Princeton grad.

What this country needs is a bold leader like myself who's willing to strike out for the whole enchilada and exempt myself from all taxes, maybe even a nice sinecure.

Taikun,

Re: Flat Taxes across all income, corporate and personal, above a certain threshold, would not only cause the housing market to implode, but the CPA profession, H&R Block and a significant number of beans counters at the IRS

You understand the dilemma this nation faces very well. A rational tax policy would be a catastrophe for all the parasites in society.
