My point was EQUAL, EQUITABLE TAX RATES, for everyone. Teach folks to look at the percentage, not the dollar amount, so no one feels "cheated"...
I'm in favor of simplfying the code. 10% across the board regardless of how the income is derived. No special breaks just because it's a...
A more equity system: Everyone pays an equal percentage of what they make: first four make $0/day They pay 10% of $0=0 fifth makes $25/day. He pays...

Justin, Your photo of the runoff from the 1930 mine is precisely why strong environmental regulations (imposed by an enviromentally-friendly...
