Freeper proposal will reduce taxes for everyone...yes, really

[entanglement]

"The government should figure out what it will cost to run the government. Divide that amount by the number of soles in the Country and send them all the very same bill. Period. Everybody should pay the same amount and people that are more industrious, talented or lucky should not have to carry the others.

Assuming at least one pair of soles per soul, I think we're all in for a huge tax reduction ;)

Happy holidays

1. Hell, yeah., I'm all for that

I wear size 10's. But what about all of the amputees? Will they get a tax break?

2. I've been sole searching lately...

I am proud to announce a new pair of shoes joined the family approximately 2 days ago. :-)

4. Congratulations. I hope you keep the sole mates together for a long time.

5. Hmmmm,

I don't know about the folks in freeper land, but I don't have an extra $30,000+ lying around.

That would be over 100% of my current income. For 1% of the population that the freepers are trying to protect it would be .0001%. If I were forced to pay that, if most of YOU were forced to pay that nearly 99% of us would be forced into the poor house.

Furthermore, what does the government do during the time you're waiting for all of us to pony up our $30,000? Does it come completely to a standstill? Do we discontinue funding of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Do we stop paying our postal workers and our police officers just to balance the budget? Currently over 60% of what this country owes came from Republican presidents, what do you think we can expect from the current president? Do we bleed the people who can't afford to pay the $30,000 now and then another $10,000 next year and the year after that just so the 1% of the population can continue to get rich at our expense (government kickbacks, monumental tax breaks, etc)?

I think that if you get billions of dollars from the citizens of YOUR country, you should be willing to pay more for the privilege of living and working in a country that you share with other poorer citizens. Unless you happen to be too much of a greedy bastard to care for those around you.

7. At that rate, I would have about $5000 left for the year to spend on food, etc

Crazy talk if you ask me.
