Yes, more Marxist social engineering. Let’s make EVERY U.S. citizen pay a flat tax (fair tax, whatever)...I am tired of the Washington pols using confiscatory taxation on the producers in this country, TO BUY VOTES FROM THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO SELL THEIR VOTES for reduced or NO tax liability.

This is BS. It has to be stopped.

“Let’s make EVERY U.S. citizen pay a flat tax (fair tax, whatever)...”

I favor a “Lump Sum” tax. Every adult pays the same dollar amount in taxes, regardless of income, employment, education, marital status, number of children, etc: The same dollar amount, no deductions.

Liken it to purchasing a car. If a car dealer sells a car for $15K, the car costs 15K. Period. Say you make twice as much money as I do. The dealer won’t charge me half of what he would charge you just because I make half of what you do.

If you or I can’t pay for the car, we don’t buy it.

If you or I can’t pay the lump sum tax, we don’t vote.

Every adult pays the same dollar amount. What could be more fair than that?
