In your comments to Zim you made this statement:
I am advocating for smaller government and you guys seem to love the damned IRS!!
I would like to explain that while you might think that, it is incorrect. Nobody here is in love with the IRS. We also, I, am particularly not in love with the tax burden rates combines in ALL forms of government, which include State, City, County, Township, municipality, whatever...
Sales taxes are onerous. I already pay plenty of sales taxes and everything I currently buy is at almost 7 percent.
Then we get the privilege of paying property taxes on our homes. Then we get taxed on our energy and cell phone bills.
What I would like is a much more narrowed and LOWERED federal income tax than what President Trump initiated and Lying Ryan partially did. Polotcal hacks just seem to have never quite embraced that if you want to se the middle and lower classes of income people surge and reignite the economy, lower their freaking taxes so they have something left all across the board.
States that TAX FOOD should all have firing squads for the politicians who voted for taxing people for purchasing food... As I said, politicians just cannot help themselves from helping themselves to everyone else's hard earned money...
The "fair tax" plan is not about taxation so much as it is about adding even more taxes and making things ever more expensive that we actually need and sometimes, we simply just want to buy.
If you think that "rate" is going to stay put, I got a few bridges over the Ohio River nearby for sale...
I want to KNOW what my tax rate is actuially going to be and I want it to be as small a percentage of my income as it can get......
It is harder to get politicians to goon record wanting to RAISE the tax rates when it is obvious.
That is all I want. Ribs and a few others pointed out the temptations of what can or could go wrong with that idea.
That is fine. It is fair discussion.
Sometimes total change is not necessary. Sometimes self control and restored SANITY for the good of the citizens should be the order of the day and the Trumpster has made a decent start with the simplified everyday tax plan.
I wish he could get support from the HOUSE next election to really lower those rates quite a bit more so those who do not make 100 grand a year in a household can actually afford to live and to SAVE moeny for retirement..
I feel for the younger generations..
Please do not think that we all are in love with the IRS. The IRS is only a vehicle that collects the incom taxes. It is the CONGRESS Critters that pass legislation with Presidential signature thatdetermines HOW big a percentage of YOUR hard work and money you wind up donating to a wasteful government who EARNS NOTHING by itself. They are awfully good at wasting OUR money though...
Hope you have a great weekend and please do not take ANYTHING said here personally. ALL of us are totally different personalities and see things from different perspctives. I am sure Zim did not intend to pick you apart. That's just Zim's way of analyzing things.. He's a good guy....
My best,
micro...
