  1. That would be fair.  People who oppose any type of flat tax simply don't understand what money is. Think about money.  If you have ever seen Gilligan's Island the Howells had lots of money.  Thurston tried to give it to natives and what not but they wouldn't take it.  Why?  Because money is worthless.  Money is worthless until it is invested and agreed upon for trade.  Someone gets rich by investing in something society demands. Their investment leads to production, cheaper and better goods and services, more jobs and more progress.  When you tax those who invest money that hurts production.  You can't consume what you don't produce.  There are those who claim that the rich can afford it.  You have to remember that they became rich because they produced that much capital in the market.  They produced capital that can be consumed.  It isn't about who can afford what but about what drives the value of the dollar.

  2. Romney is an investor.  Investors invest in what society demands.  Without investors there will be no production and there will be nothing to consume.  To say someone like Romney does nothing is wrong. How is a "progressive" tax "fair"?  What is fair would be a flat tax.  What would be better and less corruptible would be a tax on the states based on population and all other federal taxes removed.  Basically Kyle is supporting continuing a system that can be corrupted. I would also like to see where Kyle gets these figures for a "progressive" tax.  If you take more money from the rich that is less money to invest thus less progress less production and less jobs.  Money as zero value until it is invested.  Taking money from those who invest it into demand and production and giving it to those who don't invest it doesn't help.

  3. Invest in companies and production.  You like your high speed internet and computer?  You can thank a millionaire for investing their money for that.

  4. sharper68 In order to make money you have to provide a good or service that people demand.  For example I earn money by working for my boss  because I provide a service for him.  Those with a lot of money provided a service or offer a good that society demanded.  They did do a service for us or they wouldn't be in the position they are in.

  5. You dad wouldn't have a job if an investor didn't invest in his work.

  6. jaysonvalentine Really?  It was all the Republican economic policies.  Democrats or the evolution of the economy had nothing to do with it. My dad lost his job because of the evolution of the economy.  He got a new job, it happens.  Jobs are lost and created all the time.  Instead of holding onto archaic jobs us as a society need to allow progress to happen and take on new challenges.

  8. jaysonvalentine You have that option as well.  You have more control at the state and local level.
