    a person making less than or equal to the countries median should get taxed at a rate of zero percent.

    its negociable from there.

        Yeah, but the Prez is thinking about that most regressive of all taxes, a national sales tax, which would basically be a tax on people too poor to have internet access.

          No, everyone should be taxed. If you pay no taxes, then you have no incentive not to support fiscal irresponsibility in the government. Everyone taxed means everyone has a stake.

            Without a doubt... any talk of a national sales tax demands an email to your congressman and Senator.

              people get taxed today and still see no need to support fiscal responsibility.

                One thing about the flat tax (again, proposed by Forbes), is that the standard deductions are increased to $12,500 for individuals and $5,000 for dependent children, so that a family of four would have their first $35,000 of income tax free.
                Wish we could have that here. Maybe Alberta will consider implementing a similar structure.
