Quote:I think I understand what you are saying.  So you think that everyone should pay a fixed amount of their income based on a percentage regardless of how much income that they make.  Am I understanding you correctly?

 

As an example, and individual should pay say 23% of their income in taxes regardless if they make $30,000.00 per year or $150,000.00 per year?

I know next to nothing about tax codes and what percentage would be a proper number, I'll be the first to admit that but yeah in essence I don't see why more income should pay less percentage overall, in the current setup for taxation. I am sure there is a fine balanced number somewhere.

 

I do agree with EricC85 though. I have done some looking into a consumption tax since he has started talking about it and I think that could be a fair way to tax.... I think.... I probably don't know nearly what he knows about that topic though.
