  • My Problem with the "Fair" tax.

    It's not fair. Why do they keep trying to scam us with this? Jesus said the poor who pay the same percentage of their income that rich people do have a heavier burden and that's pretty obvious. Why would people who aren't rich support this? Idk.

    Because they're stupid. A flat tax is fair if you're rich.

    Not that I know what the "Fair Tax" is.

        Are you a Communist again or just a whiny liberal?

          I was never a communist, but I am a proud liberal. I'm sure you're aware of the brain scan results of liberals vs conservatives, so I won't scare you off with a reasoned argument.

            40% for low income and 70% for high is quite sane
            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

              Why would people who aren't rich support this?
              Depends on their economic literacy, but I support lowering taxes on rich people, because rich people are my clients, and I can't get rich unless they have money to spend. Poor people also have never cut me a paycheck.

                Also, this is called a flat tax, not a fair tax. Fair tax is something quite different. Flat taxes are awesome because everyone chips in something.

                  A Fair Tax is when you tax by the pound ...

                        Sorry to be so earnest, but in developed nations it's the poor who are more fat, because cheap food is low in protein, increasing appetite, more low-protein food, and so on.

                              "fair" tax is basically not taxing the rich a higher percentage of their income.
