Soak the rich? Americans say go for it

An immigrant tax wouldn't be a bad idea. Tax non-citizen immigrants at a flat 20k per year, and if they can't pay it they get deported.

Living in this country is a privilege, it shouldn't come free.

Revenue neutral. For every poor, needy, fuck, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me," for everyone of those fucks.....it has to be matched by another that has double the standard U.S. annual income in wealth.

Revenues rising is a bad thing.

True, but instead of raising taxes on people who are charged taxes on all their income, remove the shelters for the wealthy. That’s who they were designed for.

Nobody is going to slash government to the point that present revenues will pay the commitment. We are at a saturation point. Remove the shelters.

Eliminate all loopholes, make a flat tax. Same rate for people as for corporations. I like Rick Perry's idea of being able to file on a form the size of a postcard.

Phil Gramm ran for president on this plan.

Phil Gramm ran for president on this plan.

When the hell was that? I must've been asleep.

Gramm sought the presidential nomination in the 1996 Republican primaries but dropped out after the first set of primaries. Gramm retired from Congress in 2002. He became a lobbyist for UBS and founded a public policy and lobbying firm, Gramm Partners.[1] He was a senior economic adviser to John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.

Yep, I wasn't "woke" then.

And then the assholes run like rats from the stinking fucking mess THEY voted for.

People truly are morons.

If freedom and limited government are ever going to be truly put in place, roughly 80 percent of the population is going to have to be bitch slapped into submission and banned, for life, from voting ever fucking again.

Bunch of feeble minded, window licking retards, the whole fucking lot of them

Most people are total fucking morons, and it wasnt any different back in the 1700's either. Thats why the Founding Fathers created a Republic with Representatives. No Taxation without Representation. And therein lies the problem. No one in government truly represents the people. Then when people vote, because so many are fucking morons, they only vote on things that will benefit them directly and will do ZERO research in how a vote could negatively affect others, thus, they are very quick to vote away the freedoms of others.

There you go. He campaigned a lot, and this was his major issue. Of course it was clear that GHWB was going to win, Gramm couldn’t raise enough money, and he dropped out.

I’m sure there are a lot of people (think pro athletes) who have no idea how much they pay in tax. Writing a check every month would make it clear to all how much they pay.
