Everybody pays, an equal amount of their income, tax starts at the current average wage, through the top of the curve. Poor folk got enough troubles.

With few, if any loopholes, ballyhoo, legalese.

And do away with that ten pound stack of rules so complex the IRS doesn't even understand them.

11 +/- 1 % percent would do quite nicely thank you. For the record, I pay less than that, but the aggravation of simply wading through those insufficently damned forms gets my blood up.

"You conservitives"? Not me, middle of the road for the most part. IOW, both sides hate me equally. Not that I really give a damn.
