....to compensate for Social Security overpayments made to your parents in error.

Once again, I've never understood why people have refunds.

Why not just sell her off as a slave? Debtor's prison won't generate any revenue.

Sounds about on par with the utter insanity that's become pretty standard from the Federal Government. Needless to say, it runs directly counter to the rule of law, but so does so much else that's happening lately.

flat tax would solve this

It would solve a lot of things here.

A flat tax and a tax on EVERY person that works.

The college students making 7K a year like my own 18 and 19 year olds, the divorced 25 year old mother of two making 18K a year, and all the other pukes who simply work enough to pay rent and by cigarettes and beer.

More people, not necessarily all will take ownership of the country and more will pay attention when .GOV wants to raise taxes to pay for those who suck tit.

bullspit

And abolish EVERY form of welfare for every able bodied person capable of working...period.

how would it not?

everyone pays the same percentage, no one gets a refund.
no refund to "confiscate" problem solved. IRS can shrink down to a fraction of the "employees" because it is simplified. people will be a lot more cautious as to who they elect. govt will be motivated to allow economy to grow because the more it makes, more gov gets in taxes. it actually solves a lot of problems really.

please explain your position

Everyone pays, no refunds.

Made $1 last year? [bleep] you pay me 10 cents

Made $10,000 last year? [bleep] you pay me $1,000

Made $100,000,000 last year? [bleep] you pay me $10,000,000.

if there is any form of welfare then those on it will lose it if they have a child, and can't vote while receiving "assistance".
they also have to pass a drug test and be subject to random tests.

I have thought the same for a long time. I am still pizzed about having to pay income tax on my social security payments. I was taxed on that money they held out from me all along. miles

No a flat tax, with no deductions and no credits would solve alot. Especially if you take away the automatic withholdings and force people to actually write a check every quarter.

No earned income credit for the whores

No deductions, personal or business

12% personal tax. Up to 250,000 personal income. 17% after that. 25% for business taxes

I disagree with an increase based on income amounts. Nothing more FAIR than FAIR.

Everyone pays the same, no kids, 10 kids, making a billion a year, making 10K a year.

would someone explain how the method of taxation will fix the problem of the IRS seizing the refund of children of people that were overpaid by social security?.....can anyone here actually read?

No refunds for anyone. Can you actually read?

Hard to seize money from refunds if there ain't any damn refunds.

How is this a "flat" tax? --->> 12% personal tax. Up to 250,000 personal income. 17% after that. 25% for business taxes.

I agree, and 12% seems a little high to me, I bet 10 would get the job done just fine.

and there is no "deficit spending" turn lots of stuff over to the states, like national parks and forests. eliminate the bulk of BS gov spending. also federal civilian employees get paid whatever the average income is for the home county/city they live in. senators and congressmen included.

It's flat because their are no deductions or credits available to you regardless of bracket
