Can We Please Have Some Sanity When It Comes to Taxes?

Your agrument is sound unless you count all the money that is sheltered, hidden, or not not reported ( you get the meaning). I know as a small buisness owner that anything even remotely related to my buisness is tax deductable I use it. The people who have W-2s don't get to hid any of their money from the IRS. Don't even get me started on all the money big buisness doesn't pay the government by sending jobs over seas. A fair approach would be to do a fair tax where the wealth pays a fair tax rate but it includes all of their money. Make the poor and lower income segments pay their fair share too. One last tidbit both McCain and Obama will crush the falling dallor. If you have any extra money invest in foreign countries because at least for the next 4 years the economy will suck (initially things will be good for about 4 months)
you'll see
