The Stock Markets Are Drowning In Quicksand

The wealthy dodge Taxes by using loopholes, no need to raise taxes just get rid of the loopholes. Same thing but a different road.

If I respond to your post with name calling, I should expect you to fire back. Some on here may have a 'turn the other cheek' mentality, but I'm not one of them.

Then you clearly do not understand the nature of this forum and will likely find yourself penalized in the near future.

waaaaaaaaaa

Actually I do understand the nature of this forum. It us clear that even though I didn't start name calling, I only responded, it's not ok. If the moderators of this forum don't like to hear opinions other than those that agree with theirs, perhaps they should make their views more clear. Aside from 2 or 3 posters who got their feelings hurt, I haven't had any complaints. It's ok though, I'll keep the rest of my posts more republican friendly. I LOVE AMERICA!!

Re: waaaaaaaaaa

Please point me to the post where the name calling started (or use the "report post" triangle icon) and we'll take care of it. Thanks.

Re: waaaaaaaaaa

Twodaystocks, I apologize for offending you. Clearly I would have been wiser to leave off the last sentence of my post and keep those thoughts to myself. I should have stayed with my first paragraph opinion on the difference between liberty and entitlement world views and not allowed my displeasure to turn more personal towards you. Please forgive me, I'm sorry.

If your loss of deductions are offset by a lower rate, then it should not make a difference for you. As long as the tax code is distorted by selective deductions, we are at the mercy of the social engineers who pick winners and losers. Simplification will increase efficiency, thus savings. A better answer is to ditch the current system, and change to a national sales tax, that way the underground economy participates as well (we are losing hundreds of billions of revenue each year to those who avoid taxation altogether). Keep the Income Tax Credit for the "poor" to keep it "progressive".

Good to see you back SP, we can use your arbitrator abilities. Good post.

I've liked the idea of a national sales tax as well. Get rid of income tax, sharply reduce the size of the IRS, no more individuals getting audit notices, no more $5,000 tax refunds given to people who didn't pay any taxes to begin with. And you bring in a lot of people who have been flying under the radar and make them pitch-in....cash only "businesses"...criminals...drug dealers....prostitutes, etc...everybody gets to pay in when its a sales tax.
