Allow me to summarize my thoughts for you:

- Stop screwing the rich over when there's problems
- Introduce a fair tax OR:
- Give tax breaks to contributors to the economy
- Give tax breaks to doctors, Police, Firemen etc etc
- Regulate the benefit system MUCH more.
-

Give the rich more tax breaks? Is that not a republican's way of saying lower taxes for the rich ? You can word it how you want, that's what you mean.

Taxing the people who earn more is a fair tax. But for the sake of clarity, lets look at what is fair?

Tell us, tell the forum, what is your idea of a fair tax? Give is a percentage band.

Just for the sake of argument, give the following tax bracket a percentage.

Earning up to £10k = ..................................
Earning up to £20k = ..................................
Earning up to £50k = ..................................
Earning up to £100k = ..................................
Earning up to £200k = ..................................

Oh joy, even less incentive to work harder. "Oh yes you seem to be doing well there sir after putting in the effort to get a good job and earn well, let me take a large amount of that and give it to those that didn't!", Crazy

I dont think you know what a fair tax is. Google it, research it, and come back to me in a few days once you've understood it.

tbh I don't really care. The rich will take care of their money either way, so the government can do what ever the **** it likes and all they're doing is screwing them selves over.

You are again, avoiding the question. Why are you not going to answer it?

What is a fair tax in the world of Killa_ken ?

For me it would be X% of your earnings regardless of bracket, then let the government up and down this amount as much as they want.

It's not something that changes from person to person - it eliminates income tax altogether blah blah blah -
Go read up on it. Would be awesome if it came about, but sadly won't in my lifetime

Also you want the rich to invest not be taxed more

Raymond Lin · 24 Nov 2008 at 01:23

Outside the realm of that FAIR TAX (technical term), what would be kill_ken's percentages to that earning's bracket then ?

I'm not even going to bother arguing with you because quite clearly you did not read or even consider the information provided.

Your quite clearly a labor groupie who hates the rich.

No he isn't, his whole point is that he wants to get rid of that tax system alltogether.

I get it, its a movement to change the current tax system by the republican.

But step away from that, what would you tax people if you were the President ?

I WOULD INTRODUCE THE FAIR TAX. I WOULD NOT TAX ON INCOME FULL STOP.

I am leaving to watch desperate housewives now. So Im going to agree to disagree. We will never agree. You quite clearly love the poor people and hate the rich. I'd like to know what poor people do for you that makes you love them so much.
