I cannot imagine still paying off World War 1 & 2, Vietnam, and The Iraq/Afganistan Wars. In addition to, our U.S. President, my New York State Senators, Governor, and Mayor are proposing higher tax rates on almost anything and everything citizens use?<br /><br />By the end of this year, we will see a massive tax revolt throughout the United States.DoctorOfGhettohttp://www.youtube.com/doctorofghettonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430866.post-75578678848884804842007-02-06T20:22:00.000-05:002007-02-06T20:22:00.000-05:00Well, the reason the tax rate increases with incom...Well, the reason the tax rate increases with income can be argued as fair is that those making increasingly more profit and taking in increasingly more income are using the commons (roads, clean air, etc.) at an increased rate. Not neccesarily linear with respect to income. at $60K income, I drive my car, use roads and other services yeah, but if I'm at $6M there is a lot more than just 100 times as much utlization of the commons going on resulting from my profit taking. Also, taxation doesn't have to be "fair" in a tit for tat sense. We are citizens before we are consumers. If we decide that the best set-up for society is mainly based in capitalism, but as TR and Taft would put it, would like to discourage the pressure cooker from exploding, we can put things into place to discourage monopolies from forming. If we decide it is for the greater good of the nation and it's peoples that the most fortunate amongsts us carry a heavier load, it is within our rights. Hell, within our responsibilities if we're actually thinking about the well being of people besides ourselves.<br /><br />I'm just pointing out the lines of reasoning here. I'm not going to say our tax dollars are spent well or even say graduated taxation is a good thing, but just pointing out a small bit of the logic and the bigger picture we should be considering instead of what we feel is "fair" based on our own self interests.dbushikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16489524808263104274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430866.post-22782350189172627702006-12-10T09:09:00.000-05:002006-12-10T09:09:00.000-05:00Hi,Jon.

Right now, there isn't much control, and the American People are asleep at the switch...peterbromberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173639411723574123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430866.post-70658938838214175062006-12-10T03:46:00.000-05:002006-12-10T03:46:00.000-05:00What's your opinion on the FairTax idea?
