Eslkevin's Blog 
Progressive taxation on income is discriminatory. A flat tax or a national sales tax would be better.
DISCRIMINATION IS BEING BORN INTO A POOR FAMILY IN A POOR NEIGHBORHOOD, TOO BY YOUR DEFINITION OF DISCRIMINATION. PERHAPS EVERYONE SHOULD BE ARRESTED.
Eslkevin, some GOP tax proposals are allowing a certain amount of income to be free of tax, with a flat percentage on anything above that. Some people advocate a system where you pay according to your ability. I know that a marginal tax system means you only pay above a certain threshold, however, after the various deductions, your paying a lower effective rate. If we have a flat tax, I say make the top tax rate 25%. If you earn $50, 000.00 a year or less, you pay nothing, not even payroll taxes. If you earn $57, 000.00 a year or more, you pay 25%. Subject the Capital Gains tax to a sliding scale, between 15%-25%. If you hold on to it for a shorter time than cash out the investment, you pay 25%. If you hold it for a longer period of time and then cash out the investment, you pay the lower rate of 15%. I prefer to tax consumption rather than labor. However, as long as we maintain an income tax, the rate should be same across the board, unless it is determined that a family does not earn enough to pay income taxes.
Flat tax often means that everyone under 200,000 dollars a year pays too much and livelihoods are hurt. If you can get a flat tax down to 2% or less then I could buy into the argument–if not–it hurts the poor too much.
If you earn $50, 000.00 a year or less under some proposals, you pay nothing. Assuming that you earn more, you should pay a flat rate of 25%. Capital Gains tax would be subject to a sliding scale, between 15%-25%. Poor people and low income people would still pay nothing under some proposals. Those Leftist idiots claim that flat taxes are regressive. Newsflash: Flat and regressive have 2 very different meanings. Assuming we had a flat tax, there would be a standard deduction, so if you make a certain dollar amount or less, you pay effectively nothing in taxes. Anything higher would be taxed at a flat rate.
some proposals are better than us, I come at things from the biblical jubilee perspective which doesn’t start with the promise that life is supposed to be fair and equal–revisions are needed to allow much opportunity for choice and redevelopment–not as stagnant as perspectives of taxation and redistribution tend to simply get caught up in.
Eslkevin, I have a question for you: Who can spend your money better-you or a government bureaucrat?
Are you not asking someone who has lived abroad nearly 30 of the past 35 years? Who didn’t have to pay US military taxes. By the way, why focus on bureaucrats? The DOD, BIG OIL, Military Complex dependents control USA spending.
Eslkevin, I inadvertently contradicted myself on my March 31st comment. I put the 15% tax rate when I meant to put 25%. Can you edit that comment for me please? Then can you delete this one?
I don’t know how exactly (I have never edited comments before) but I could just try in a few minutes.
Sounds good.
