Pony Up Everyone!

If everyone is taxed at the same percentage, then what the heck is the problem?

Politics is the problem!

Why should I bust my butt to become wealthy if everyone wants to take half of my earnings to give to people that refuse to work. I don’t have a problem giving to those in need; yet, the country seems set on making everyone a person in need with the welfare programs and the crap that they teach in school nowadays.

Reform Welfare;

Get rid of the Department of Education (sending it back to the States control);

Cut back on the Department of Housing and Urban control;

Remove the legislative/law making authority from all the various government agencies;

Downsize the IRS through Tax Reform and send all the lawyers and accountants to work at the FBI – they can start investigating white collar crime and corruption in government; and

STOP all the growth of government by consolidating various entities and downsizing them through attrition (sp) until they reach the desired end strength;

Cap government spending to a percentage of the national GDP;

Lastly, Flat Tax everyone at 15 percent! Here are my suggestions for the only exceptions to any new tax code (and only for those making less than $250,000.00 a year (or $500,000.00 for filing married) -

- a deduction of $15,000 per (legitimate) person within the immediate household;

- a deduction for interest on the Cost of Housing;

- a deduction for State and Local Taxes;

- a deduction for Monies (only) Given to Charities (giving to your local Church will not count).

- That's it, no death taxes, corporate taxes, or deductions for businesses/new equipment or assessments, ect. If you make money on it - It's Taxed.

((Those individuals at the poverty level, and below, don't pay taxes (and herein lies the rub) - the individuals that work under the table for cash, that cheat us all, by not claiming the money as earned income.))

- - I SAY NO TO A NATIONAL SALES TAX! - -

Lastly, I'm not totally sure, but the people making $250,000.00 a year (or $500,000.00 for filing married) should get the excemptions also. After all, it should be fair for everyone - "across the board."
