Obamacare *sigh* (Page 21) OCD_OCD: I would be very happy if we went with a flat tax....as long as the government doesn't try to also add a VAT to it. Since they can never live within a budget, I wouldn't put it past them. orangemoon8: A VAT tax will never happen here, Clinton toyed with the idea?.......whatever happened to it?, The voters almost took care of him on that one. OCD_OCD: They still bring up VAT from time to time. There was a mention of a flat tax and adding a VAT for "luxury" items. Since the government gets to define "luxury" items, it could be anything from booze and cigarettes to toilet paper. davidk14: . Flat Tax! Flat Tax! Flat Tax! Whether it be a house or bubble gum. If it is 20%...so be it. Adios Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Hello Internal Flat Tax Service (IFTS). Just to keep everyone honest. However, 1/10th the size of the IRS. This should also be for the state income tax. . DEEP_acheleg: the 16% profit "cap" in the ACA is a windfall, considering the average corporate profit is between 1-3%. additionally, a ratio is not a cap at all, as rising costs can be manipulated to increase premiums, and, thus the 16% profit would fall at a higher dollar amount. orangemoon8: A flat tax of 20% is not gonna happen, it's too high, why would ya buy something that is worth less that 20% in taxes? duncan124: No state taxes = Pay-as-you-go warfare doesn't it? That has always been popular in some quarters. No taxes means you are living the Democrots dream, and they are taking their wages directly from somewhere else! orangemoon8: No state taxes.....works in AK, NV, TX, FL, TN, DE, & NH. I don't live the Democrat dream, I vote against pretty much everything they stand for. | Politics Chat Room 33 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
