A flat tax. That's where we should be. A flat 5% on all income. Period. The wealthy will pay more because 5% of a $billion is a lot more than 5% of $100,000.00. The poor would pay their share just as the wealthy. Tax returns could be done with a post card.

No taxes on income, period. All the games come from that.
Trump has declared that a goal.
We have that in California on top of "regular" tax burdens.
There is never enough money no matter how much is taxed.
One fair tax is on gasoline to finance the road infrastructure. If it just wasnтАЩt being used to support illegals.
