Hydra, as we were discussing earlier, I find myself agreeing with Tool. I like having money being withheld from my paycheck. Granted, I obviously can't currently do this seeing as I'm being 1099. Either way, I see nothing wrong with having my money being withheld. This way, for most people, they won't get caught into a trap of spending what (technically) is not their own.

This will also affect tourism. Is there going to be a 20% discount on all items sold if they can prove their residency is in another country, or is their money going to be unjustly given to our government? I don't see how it's fair that they have to pay our taxes for us.

I also like how the income tax kind of shows patronage to the government for keeping them safe and free of invasions. I like it because it's also a traditional thing. It's the same idea that's been used for millenia. The national sales tax takes away from that.

Granted, I do see some problems with the current distribution of taxes over the citizens. I don't think that poverty level incomes should go tax free, and I don't think that anybody making over $300,000 should be paying 1/3 of their money earned. I think that the percentages should be closer together. The lower incomes taxed a few percent more, and the high incomes taxed a few percent less. Example: have a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 25%.

whoa.
