[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 449900, member: 135"] . I don't think I agree with that. I do think that they would have to set a bottom figure and say everybody who makes less than x amount of dollars pays nothing but beyond that, I think it is fair. Say we settle on 10%: That is less than most middle income people are paying now but it is more than most wealthy people are paying (after all of their deductions. I do like the idea of a sliding scale but I don't see how that is fair. If you are willing to work hard enough to make a lot of money, should you then be expected to pay 35 or 40% tax when somebody else who is just sluffing along pays far less? No matter what system we have, somebody is going to complain that it is unfair to them. But the system we have now definitely sux. [/QUOTE]
