Where I see the tax rates in 10 years; 20 years; 25 years

[NeoConsSuck]

10 Years: Flat rate. Hey, it's only fair that everyone pays the same rate. The rich should not be penalized for their success.

20 Years: Upper income earners to pay a lower tax rate. Since the rich pay more in taxes, it is only fair that their tax rate is lower than middle and lower class. The rich should not be penalized for their success.

25 Years: Federal sales tax on purchases replaces income tax. Lower and middle class will pay tax on all their earnings, since all their earnings go for purchases. The rich will have more tax free money to invest in the stock market, helping capitalism grow. The rich should not be penalized for their success.

As I was typing this, I thought of it as a joke. After thinking about it, I don't see it as a joke, but an inevitable reality.

At one time, I was proud to be an American.

1. +30 years ...the rich pay 0%. They now officially have taken over the government and country.

The people are slaves with bar code numbers on their palms or foreheads.

5. 30 Years: Per Capita tax

30 Years: Flat per capita tax. Every adult pays a flat $50,000 per year in taxes or they go to debtors prison. A flat per capita tax is the only way to be fair to all citizens. The rich should not be penalized for their success.
