A boot on my throat if I produce fruit from my labor.

There has got to be a better way beside basing it on income levels.

Consumption tax, after we eliminate the IRS and all the BS that comes with that corrupt agency.

It taxes everyone equally. No breaks for the poor and no breaks for the rich.

We are all equal under the eyes of GOD.


What we have to be very careful of is the promise of a VAT and then they never eliminate the IRS and income tax. Like what happened in Europe and their VAT and income tax.

The day you earn a single dime from your labor without the protections, and benefits that the nation provides, then and only then can you even begin to think of even uttering such nonsense.

What's your income level that's making things so difficult. The United States has a rather lax tax code for the wealthiest people in the country. Please explain what you're whining about. I'm guessing that you're either poor or a lowly paid individual. If so, then moving away from income based taxes would mean that your taxes get raised.

Perhaps you can provide some actual background to what you're whining about. Somehow I doubt you're intelligent enough to realize this.

They didn't say no protections or benefits the nation provides, they said a one tax level for all system.

Ah, yes. The sweat of your brow, the wear and tear on your bootstraps ... you did it all yourself, didn't you?

Now, where's my tiny violin?

Poor, pitiful you...

You live in the richest country on the face of the Earth, with few of the cares that have haunted human beings throughout history, all because of a massive national infrastructure erected for your benefit.

And sniveling fool that you are, you compare yourself to a slave because you have to pay tax?

Well, boo hoo. Feel free to go away and leave this representative democracy, and all that entails, good and bad, to the rest of us.

What a soft, pathetic, ignorant buffon you are...

Then either quit working or go to a country that doesn't tax you.
Oh yes, they don't exist.
And your god thingie, there's no proof that any exist.

I didn't say no tax.


Wow, such class warfare.

The very thing an income tax creates and our government uses well as a tool.
