[QUOTE="doctordick, post: 190855, member: 2595"] No one should be faulted for taking all the deductions they are legitimately entitled to. The problem is that over the years, the tax code has been used by the politicians to favor some and to punish others. The fact is that nearly half of all households pay no income tax at all, and a fair number of those also get a handout in the form of the Earned Income Credit. I believe everyone should pay something, if you want to be an American, you gotta have a little skin in the game. I think a low flat tax combined with a consumption (sales) tax might be the best way to go. Items that are truly necessities, food, fuel, medical supplies, could be exempted from the sales tax. Unfortunately there is no system which cannot be corrupted so for any new tax system to work, there has to be some kind of mechanism to prevent political tampering. Probably the only way to make it all work is a constitutional amendment repealing the current system, setting out in detail a new system and requiring a balanced budget. Back to the subject of illegals, I remember when roofers, framers and laborers of all kinds could make a middle class wage. That is not true today because of the millions of illegals who are willing to do that work for far less money. If you could just lock down the border now and stop ILLEGAL immigration eventually the 12 million or so illegals here now would die, leave or get legal. Bring home the troops from Germany, the U.K., Japan, South Korea and put 'em on the border for as long as it takes. [/QUOTE]
