[Spridgets] Taxes

[Bill L]

Hello,

      I don't usually get into off topic "discussions" but I have to
      weigh in here...

      there has been talk of a flat tax, and is displays how much
      everyone's perceptions have been warped.

      There is a difference between a "flat tax" and a "flat RATE
      tax".

      A FLAT Tax is .. everyone pays the same AMOUNT. .. $10, $1000,
      whatever.

      A Flat RATE tax is everyone pays the same percentage. It is
      still a tax on INCOME.

      Our founders strictly forbade ANY tax on INCOME and mandated a
      FLAT TAX ONLY.  That was the purpose of the census. To determine
      by count the number of people, thus the amount of $$$ that would
      be brought into the federal coffers. No projections, no
      waffling, .. X number of people times X number of dollars.
