[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 254002, member: 9859"] Our tax system is complex for a reason. Ever heard of "no taxation without representation"? Why do you think that was a big deal for the founding fathers? They understood that taxation is an important tool for shaping society. Our tax codes are the knobs and levers that get pulled by our representatives to accomplish the greater goals of society. The goals we the people set out. To think that mere simplification of our tax codes is a useful goal of our society is laughable. Omit words like 'fair' and 'equitable' as these words have different meaning to different people. Ask instead who authored and is lobbying this proposel and who the winners and losers will be, and is that what we want? Lastly, what is the probability of success in getting the revenue that the government needs. Taxation is by nature unfair. It would be better to keep what we have -- knowing it is unfair -- than to innovate and get something even less likely to be fair. No matter how you look at the system we have now or this new fairtax plan, the rich get richer and the middle class flatlines. Ask ourselves, which canidate do we elect in to represent and benefit your tax bracket best. Then go vote. [/QUOTE]
