income tax

how many irs employees are there? how many taxpapers are there?

does that tell you something?

New, simple tax form

Obama will reduce the 1040 to two lines:

1. What did you earn?

2. Send it in.

You want Simple?

Flat tax across the board.

12% personal tax

20% corporate tax

Everyone pays their fair share for living in America and we all share the burden.

Easy, but wait what about the Accountants, all the IRS employess, and the poor? It would n't be fair, too bad.

I already know the responses.

Nothing will happen until WE throw ALL the bums out of office. I mean all Dems, Reps, and any other person that holds an office. If we would do that for the next 3 -4 elections someone would wake up and start listening to the people.
