So, you are going to tax those who make more than some amount a flat rate. What rate would that be, and what income cutoff would there be? Does this mean you are going to raise taxes on the Middle Class?!? I know I participated in that thread (and, do forgive me for not remembering at the stroke of a key every post I've made in every thread I've participated... I have more important things in my life than to keep track of that stuff... breadcrumbs that you can do that, sincerely). Dont blame me because you cant remember stuff.. and then shove your foot into your mouth. Raise taxes on the middle class? When they pay more than the 15% Romney did? Do you not get the concept of a flat tax? As far as how low, poverty level works for me. Below that, no taxes. Surely even you cannot disagree with that. I wasn't blaming you for not being able to recall every post I write and every conversation I have. I admitted I don't do that, and don't care to do that. I, then, gave you props for being able to that. At no time did I blame you or anyone else for my keeping tabs on older posts. And, I still haven't shoved my foot in my mouth. (You have a thing for feet?) How do you define the Middle Class, tazzy? What rate are you looking to set for your flat rate? I absolutely understand the concept of a flat tax. Am I to also believe that you'd cut out *all* credits and deductions, or are you going to use the AGI compared to the poverty level? What of the mortgage interest deduction? And, you do realize that a flat tax hits lower income earners harder than upper income earners, right?
