i didn't want to do it but i guess someone has to solve this little problem. your politicians are a bunch of fucking gutless wonders too busy worrying about offending their base rather than solving the problem.
i will solve your problems gratis, pro bono, no fucking charge......
1. impose a VAT, VALUE ADDED TAX.
shit, most countries have a VAT. it's a tax on consumption. look in the fucking mirror, you fools consume too much!
2. do away with mortgage interest being tax deductible. having mortgages be tax deductible drives up the price of housing and is unfair to renters. it also encourages fools to go deeper into debt. i seem to remember reading something about shitloads of fools taking out huge mortgages and not being able to make the payments. but here's the real reason mortgages should not be tax deductible:
DEBT KILLS! people hate paying taxes and will do almost anything to reduce the amount they of tax they pay. the real winners in mortgages being tax deductible are the banks. with a fractional banking system the banks have oodles of cash to loan and are only too happy to help the rubes save a little tax. more people would pay off their mortgages and gain a little financial freedom if the tax break ceased. the captains of industry want an indebted work force.
one more thing. 51% of you don't pay any income tax. it really rubs me the wrong way when people who pay no tax complain that the people who do pay taxes don't pay enough. of course the politicians have this figured out. shit, we'll raise taxes on the top 2% of the population. that should keep the other 98% happy and we need their votes. i saw bill clinton on tv saying that everyone ought to pay a little tax. but he's not running for office so he can speak the truth.
oh yeah, save money on medicare by not paying for those fucking electric scooters that drive me nuts.
wake up,you were sick, but now you’re well, and there’s work to do!!!
i love you sons of bitches.
remember, winners sign cheques on the back, losers sign cheques on the front.

Is it a coincidence that "bank" rhymes with "wank"?
is that why banks are run by wankers?
A VAT tax just means more money for the politicians to figure out how to piss away.
Not that I'm saying it's a bad idea, put it on fancy rigs and toys.
I bought a new belt/disk sander today, and not from Harbor Freight, I wanted a better one than that.
You may well be right about a VAT. I will read up on it.
I suppose the thing that makes me the craziest about this debt is the waste of money. There is so much waste here.
I don't like taxes, no one does. But I pay my share. I don't want them wasting as much as they do.
The problem with VAT taxes in the US is that, like social security taxes, they always get capped. The scam goes like this: 5% tax on everything but no one pays more than say $2k-- then the schlub buying the new truck pays the same amount in tax that a zillionaire pays after buying a $10 million jet. If ss needing fixing I can do it in five seconds, eliminate the (I think) $120k cap.
billy - the vat has to go on everything, no exceptions. we send rebated cheques out to the low income people 4 times a year.
silly - i think there is waste everywhere.
bob - i guess it would be a good test for the lobbyists. introducing a vat would certainly send the lobbyists into high gear to try and get concessions for their industries.
I'm tired of banging my head on the wall over them fuckers.
51%? Who the hell isn't paying taxes? Give me their names!
And what about the major corporations? I'd like to see those bastards get less breaks. Taxes: It ain't easy to get it right.
If we could get a flat-rate VAT here INSTEAD of the current favoritism-based income tax, it would be awesome! Deja Moo, man - We've all seen this bullshit before: One or the other parties logjams the debt ceiling. Government shutdown ensues. Media hacks start bitching about said party, turning up the volume until the hold-outs cave.
Fuckin' YAWN!!!
Yeah, flat rate tax, on exceptions.
yellowdog - i hope you're not hurting the wall.
jayne - i think there's a mexican joke somewhere in the 51% figure but i'm feeling unusually mature this afternoon.
ted - i think almost everyone but the lawyers and accountants would favor a flat tax.
have i mentioned that some of my best friends are accountants?
billy - start the revolution!
