What's wrong with a tiered flat tax? If you make 0-xx,xxx, you pay X%, if you get into the next tier, you pay a higher percent. No deductions, loopholes etc. Do away with all other taxes to keep things simple.
Why is it that if Fabs and I make the same amount of money per year, but his tax guy is better than the tax guy I hired, he gets to pay less in taxes? That's messed up.
I agree that we shouldn't raise taxes. The more money you give them, the more they will spend. Ain't any of you guys been married?
