How about we just go back and retroactively surrender the Revolutionary War?



If you think we won the rev war in any kind of meaningful way you better go back and study more history.

What they didnt undermine themselves the brits did in the following 100 years, and now we reap the rewards of 200 years of traitors in charge.

Hell only one prezzie dante was not british.


Is ruling in the genes? All presidents bar one are directly descended from a medieval English king

Amazing how that happens in a democracy aint it?


suck suck suck, ah say suck it up!

All we would see due to the corporate owned media, is what propaganda is necessary for the codification of greed, avarice and a further concentration of power in the executive.

We might see a constitutionally ratified crony, capitalist fascism.



ha!

thats essentially what the constitution already is, it sets citizens up as the debtors, [aka bond slaves], but as it stands it at least has a tiny sliver of light. A convention would cement that over for good. With cams gubblemint spying that the net made so easy and a country full of incredulous historical retards 1984 is already here. Somewhere I have the court case where in dicta they talked about the US being the NWO. I can go on and on, the whole shit mess is hilarious. Like the opening lines when morpheus explains explains the matrix to neo.

I like it. I like it a lot.

I'd like to see (in no particular order):
  • Congressional Term limits
  • Balanced Budget requirements
  • Limitation of Federal authority (or a forced conservative interpretation) of "Interstate Commerce" strictly to actions one state places on commerce on another state, at state levels.
  • Flat tax, or Consumption Tax
  • Public Health Care, modeled after the UK's plan

@Merc - "reserved to the states" and how is that going to help you?

@Desi - "Flat tax" and how is that going to help you?

It's a limit on Federal authority. Might not help directly.

Depending on the tax rate, it might not help me at all. I prefer to not tax income, but rather tax consumption. That gives me more choice on how much tax I pay. Either tax structure, though, will be simpler, and will reduce the need for a massive IRS.

well the present graduated tax taxes more as you go up.

what else could be taxed that could be considered a luxury tax except for income?


How does rockefeller consume more than a median income person?

You advocate a flat tax so the person making 10 grand pays 7500, with 2500 bucks left to live on for the year while the person making 10 million pay 7.5 million with 2.5 million to live on for the rest of the year.

Instead of the graduated tax we have now where the person who earns 10,000 pays nothing at all.

So why shoudl the poor vote for the flat tax?

Not at all. All it does is make rich people richer and poor people poorer. If that concept escapes you perhaps you might take it up with a fourth grade math teacher.

It took long enough to get rid of the shithead. looking at him reminds me of the emperor in Star Wars, except in my opinion, murdoch is a lot more evil and scheming ( a true syph lord). He has blotted his copybook in Australia and U.K. and seems to be doing a fair job on the U.S. now.

Maybe we could have a blanket muster and get enough money to ship him HALFway back here ? That would put it somewhere just south of the line in the Pacific I would say.

Rockefeller more than likely consumes a lot more stuff, that the average joe considers a "luxury." Rockefellers likely buy higher dollarl items, too (which draws more tax).

How much are you taxing the income of people working "under the table?" How much are you taxing the incomes of people involved in illegal activities like prostitution or drug trade?

Whereas the real answer - to any kind of tax rate at 75% is - that the rich guy leaves taking his money to the bahamas - and the money he would have spent on healthcare, buildilngs, food and planes is spent instead in the bahamas.

Taxing income is stupid. Just what we want to do - discourage people from getting jobs.
Tax what they spend.

I didn't ask realone, I asked you.

and realone did nothing of the sort. all he did was illustrate what a 75% tax (absurd to begin with) does to two different numbers. apart from that those arent the actual mechanics of a flat tax, there is nothing in that that shows how the "rich get richer"---unless you count, which I suspect you do being a leftie type, that being able to hang on to more of your own money means "getting richer?"

whats more, typical flat tax plans replace other "taxes", most notably, the payroll tax (and retain the earned income credit as well). the net effect there is again, that even the "poor" get to hang on to more of their money.

they also still include a deduction and personal exemption. in ted cruz's case for instance, its 10k, with a 4k personal exemption. and under his plan, a family of 4 doesn't pay any tax until after 36k.

so, tell me again which one of has the head in ass thing going on?

it was an example to help those who didnt get the point more easily grasp the meaning of what I am trying to say.

So here is a picture:




Just because it isnt 75% right this second does not mean it wont be tomorrow, or are you planning on giving us a cap guarantee?

So like the rest of the flat taxers you advocate lowering the taxes of the wealthiest 1% where 95% of the money is disposable and raising taxes on the lowest income people to make up for it where 95% of their money is spent on survival?

good plan
