most of the people who make lots of (get lots of) money dont create wealth.


So you're proposing higher tax rates on anyone that is not actually "labor"?

:)

That's not the issue and I think you know it. There's going to have to be a tax system and the one we have now is absurd. It's isn't remotely fair to anyone and it's way too complex.

Time to scrap the whole thing and start over. I think a combo flat tax and national sales tax (or VAT) might be a way to even get some of the underground economy folks to chip in.

VAT would inhibit spending - bad for the economy - people would just buy most of their stuff mail/internet order from canada or black market.  that type of tax is like a subsidy for organized crime.

Regarding a flat tax or national sales tax, it will never happen.

A living breathing beast lives here, who's substance is that of lawyers and accountants and all that follows those two groups.

I agree that it would be better, it's just not going to happen.

You will never sell a conservative on redistribution of wealth. You will never get a liberal congressman or senator to vote flat tax, as it reduces their power base.

Status quo.

Blast from the past! :D

How much of this conversation holds true today?

Let's see, Kerry focuses his campaign around his war record, and the right exposes the truth...looks like 10bears and Weazel was sort of correct! :)  They didn't see the smear tactics of F911 coming though! ;)

Then you truly won't mind the POW's telling what happened to them in Stolen Honor?

I truly wouldn't mind if Sinclair offered Kerry 90 minutes of prime time to rebut the docudrama.
