I support a flat rate tax that EVERYONE pays. Make it 10% and the govt will increase their revenue 5 times because the leeches who suck on the golden teat will be taxed also.Its not socialism. Its a simple flat tax.Money to run the country has to come from somewhere.Its a lot less painful than the capital gains tax that just went into effect.Tax anyone who has income over $12,000.00/yr.
Better idea: No taxes, and no teat suckers. Remove all income or flat tax. Most of what the fedgov does should be done (or better yet, NOT done) by the states. Magically our country survived a long time with no income tax.

Today’s corrupted politics is all about the Benjamins, and which political party's leadership can put their hand deeper into the productive working person’s pocket.
Any politican who doesn’t want to honor the 10th Amendment can go to hell, AFAIAC.

In 1996, the following year, a second round hearing was held to replace the federal income tax and the American Constitutional Research Service presented another submission before the Committee on Ways and Means. To view that submission CLICK HERE and scroll down to page 236
Thank you, I will check it out. Sooner or later something will happen because the road we are on now ends off a cliff, and that cliff is getting closer and closer.
I believe those who support and defend our Constitution’s legislative intent, which Mark Levin is fond of talking about, would expect that each state is held to the constitutional requirement that its share of representatives sent to Congress is proportional to its share of any direct tax laid by Congress. The two formulas being:
States’ pop.
----------------- X SUM TO BE RAISED = STATE’S FAIR SHARE
Total U.S. Pop.
State`s Pop.
___________ X House size (435) = State`s No. of Representatives
U.S. total pop
And with regard to the rule of apportionment, Congress does have authority to lay a capitation tax which is a direct tax, and may be levied directly upon the people by Congress. However, this tax boils down to be an equal per capita tax under the rule of apportionment if laid directly upon the people! For example, if a capitation tax were laid today and the people of New York each had to pay one dollar to meet New York’s apportioned share of the total sum being raised by Congress, the people of Idaho would likewise only have to pay one dollar each if the tax were shared evenly among the people living in Idaho. And, although New York’s total share of the tax would be far greater than that of Idaho because of New York’s larger population, New York is compensated by its larger representation in Congress, which is also part of our Constitution’s fair share formula!
The wisdom of our founder’s rule of apportionment is, that although a particular state with a large population has an overwhelming representation in Congress when spending federal revenue such as New York, it would be held in check by the rule of apportionment which commands they pay a larger share of the tab whenever a direct tax is laid among the states.
Is it not obvious that our big spending Congressional Delegations such as New York, California, Pennsylvanian, New Jersey, etc., love our Constitution’s rule of apportionment when it comes to one man one vote, but they fear with a passion the rule of apportionment being applied to taxation which requires one vote one dollar which is not being enforced, and is why they engage in reckless spending and borrowing?

If the America People do not rise up and defend their existing Constitution and the intentions and beliefs under which it was adopted, who is left to do so but the very people it was designed to control and regulate?
