So you do favor screwing the rich!!! How typically liberal!!! Regardless of what side of the big pond people are on, it seems that all liberals have a Robin Hood complex ... i.e. steal from the rich to give to the poor. But then again, descrimination is just fine and dandy if it's a rich person getting screwed!!! (No, I'm not rich. This is simply honest ideolgical anger.) Typical political correctness. It's ok to be bigoted so long as it's against one of descrimination-approved groups, as determined by the high and mighty, best and brightest, liberal intelligensia!!!
IMHO there's one and only one fair method of taxation. A flat income tax with no deductions!!! If I make 10x more than another person, then I should be paying 10x more in total dollars (or pounds). But the rate should remain the same!!! If I made 10x more than you then I would pay 10x more in taxes.
Stop the shaking hands now, Magness... Those flames may have been just a little too toasty...
I have to admit, the "flat tax rate" was one of the main reasons I voted for H. Ross Perot in '88 and '92.
I know, wasted votes [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] . If I had thought Bush would lose to Clinton in '88, I would not have voted Independant.
