GAO: “USA is living beyond its means”

Question: Since essentially nobody on this forum understands our tax system how can they choose the “right” candidate? ?

Only by switching to a flat tax for all income levels and relying on sales and corp tax revenue can anything be fair. Poor people can control their spending as well as the rich, but this provides incentive to improve education and training and encourages savings and thrift. Nothing wrong with that theory advocated by many patriotic Americans. Let the Kennedy’s buy their yachts and I will be okay with a cheap canoe, which I can paddle myself. Just give us the chance. Nobody can keep up with the awesome complexity of the laws and IRS codes and interpretations. Only lobbyists do that. The big time CPA firms and corp law firms write the laws and tell the politicians what it all means. I know. It takes armies of these people to administer this monster. And those like Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee and others have told you correctly, change the system. Dump the awesome bureaucracy and libraries of codes and rulings and all of these government entanglements. You cannot understand it, trust me.

Answer: In five years, we will mark the 100th anniversary of the “income tax” amendment (the 16th).

If our servants in government can FORM the IRS, they can ABOLISH the IRS. The Constitution already provided for taxes…but not income taxes. And it worked just fine for 120 years. That’s 25 years longer than the new system has worked.

Ron Paul got it right (again!)… no income tax. no IRS.

Question: In response to my last question Re: Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and tax refund/stimulus.?

I was not ordered to surrender my tax refunds, I have always got them on time, so my stimulus will be the same then? I just paid off my Chap. 2 weeks ago, haven’t got my discharge papers. Got DD on my Federal refund back in February, no fees taken out, it was DD from the IRS and there was no delay in getting it! What should I expect? Any experts out there? Please please help me….

How do I reply here to the people who answer my questions?

Answer: Expect the rebate that you qualify for, since there was nothing that stopped you from receiving your federal refund.
