well, i believe in flat tax system - i'll give the gov-t x.xx% and at that point, i don'y want to be bothered anymore... just set the rate at 30%, or 40%, and never, ever, ever come back to increase it!!! so, if i make $100, tskr your $40, if i make $1000, take your $400 - but no other taxes, no sales tax, no local tax, no state tax, no personal property tax, no real estate tax... nothing... deal with the 40% you are taking... baecause, when they break the taxes between so many entities, people lose track of the money - we are effectively paying close to 50% (or at least, it feels that way!!!), and getting gov-t that is about to default!!!

oh, and another thing - this nation is approaching the Soviet goal of equality from a different angle, and, as a matter of fact, has advanced much further than the Soviet ever did!!! and it is not about the money... it is everything else - the political correctness being one of the major ones...
