[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a license to watch TV? That makes no sense. Are you pulling my leg?

As for the flat tax, I am not sure I agree with that. 20% for someone who earns $20,000 a year is a much bigger bite out of the paycheck than it is for someone who earns $100,000 a year. Doesn't seem fair when it's for necessities. I have no problem taxing luxuries, eating out, junk food, clothes over a certain price point, cars etc. But a poor person shouldn't have to pay a big tax on milk, cheese and meat.[/quote]

It's not a much bigger bite of the paycheck. It's still 20% no matter how you slice it.

Earn 20k? You pay in $4k
Earn 100k? You pay in $20k

I think it's rather fair. A much fairer system than we have here in the US wear low-income workers pay net negative tax, and very high income earners - depending on whether or not most of their income is long-term capital gains or investor - pays a very low % of taxes. It's everyone in the middle that pays most of the revenue into the system. [/quote]
