What Do You Mean I Can't!

[General Woundwort]

The Last time I checked the forms, what with decreasing percentages and Earned Income Tax Credits, those under $15,000 don't pay a heckuva lot in federal taxes. Not being a large corporation owner, I'll pass on the other bit, but I can say that from talking to my friends, the tax code is stacked against married dual income middle-class families. I know plenty of my married friends who still calculate and file separate 1040s to save money.

So here's a radical idea - everybody pays the same percentage, no deductions or other calculations besides x% of total income recieved. That's fair, isn't it?

Here's a really radical idea - abolish the income tax and go to a national sales tax. After all, the Founding Fathers left out a national income tax from the Constitution (it got added in later, of course, look up the 16th amendment) - and my guess is they did that on purpose.
