IRS: Nearly 1,500 millionaires paid no federal income tax in 2009
#40
Ted, no offense. I have NOT done the math. I simply believe that anything is better than the horrifyingly complex 'system' that we have now.

I understand that there are a number of theories out there. I also understand that, in order to make some of them politically acceptable, they include 'deductions', 'progressive' scales, and so forth. Such compromises can and will be necessary. But they're a slippery slope.

Look at this 1913 tax return form, and tell me if we're better or worse than we were.
