Well, you did say you support a flat tax, and this is exactly what a flat tax does because it is a regressive tax.

I would not be apposed to people making less than 25k per year paying nothing. Of course controlling spending is key.

How regressive can it be when you get a tax return, free money, free food, free cell phones, and free health care? Seems to me raising taxes on those earning a living on their own is the real wrong thing to do.

Ok how about leave taxes alone and start canceling the free crap? Seems like we could make a serious dent in the budget going that route.

And this is my problem with conservatives: They don't study any history and don't understand why we are in the position we are today. Why does such a large percentage pay no federal income tax? Because that's what Ronald fucking Reagan wanted. You want a direct quote? "Millions of the working poor will be dropped from the tax rolls altogether." He said that while signing the 1986 Tax Reform. Bush did and said the same things. Are you saying they were wrong for doing that?

I just don't understand the cognitive dissonance it takes to be a conservative who believes taxes should be cut or lowered drastically, and then get mad when taxes are at a point that millions of Americans have no federal income tax liability because they were cut or credits were given. And I'm not directing this at you personally, Nuckle, but it's shocking how many people I see here who CLAIM to be conservative who get so upset that taxes are so low.

Geez, you make it sound like such a fabulous life! What the hell are you waiting for, then? Close your company, quit working, and go live all of these glorious freebies that just rain down on the poor, who live better than those at the top if I am to take your word for it.

Because that world only exists in your mind.
