Flat taxReader comment on: Parsing Obama's Tax Position Submitted by joecool (United States), Nov 8, 2010 10:52 How 'bout if you are a US citizen, pay a flat rate of %10,%15, whatever & eliminate ALL taxes & those taxes disguised as 'fees'? EVERYONE would have more $$, we wouldn't have products taxed at every stage of the production process & business would boom considering the tax & 'fee' burden would be eliminated. I'm not a biz major, so I do not know how this would relate to real #s & revenue raised by the govt. However, the wealth that would be retained by the people of this country would be hugely increased. And that is a good thing bcs we'd have a LOT more $$, all of us, to buy & invest & grow businesses etc. And if govt got less revenue, so WHAT?! They need to work within a BUDGET, like all of us do. And if they can't, then maybe they should be cutting programs, like arts & humanities grants, worthless homeland security grants (I have personal knowledge about how this $$ in my area has been spent!) etc. I know, I'm dreaming here, but it is a good dream that makes sense.
