Yeah I know, believe me when it comes to my money I hate giving it to anyone! But...I do. It's my choice, and I'm not trying to tell everyone how to live.

But there are people who need help, it's that simple. If the minimum wage in some states wasn't $5.25 we probably wouldn't be having this discussion, if everyone could work a decent job and pay their rent and their bills. It's the responsibility of the father of her children to pay for them (I've been told by women that something like 40% of claimants actually get child support, wtf?!) but that's another matter completely. Single-income families take it on the chin now, and they would under a sales tax.

The rich take from the poor every day. Just ask Nike if they pay their workers in Malaysia a livable wage <_<

It's your money, sure. You earned it by doing whatever it is you do. But part of the PRIVILEGE (so the IRS tells us) of being US citizens is that you have to pay the US gov't some money for all your opportunities. Right now if you move overseas and don't set foot in the US for the entire tax year you have to pay income tax up to $80,000 in personal earnings! That's more what I mean, if you were born in Zaire there's a 1 in 3 chance you'd have HIV. You're American, so the success does come with a price.

Feel free to flame the shit out of me

I never said I was trying to change anything this minute, like I said give the IRS a few million so they can collect the 4 billion in unpaid taxes. Reform the INS and help get all these illegal aliens off our tax rolls. Reform the welfare system and give drug addicts the help they need and put people to work. Reform the DSS and get single mothers their fucking child support money. Reform drug laws and stop costing taxpayers money by sending people to jail for having an ounce in their dashboard. Give money to schools so they can have gym class 3 days a week instead of grilling from 1st grade for standardized tests so they can graduate high school. Feed them healthy food and not Taco Bell (schools are so strapped they take corporate sponsorships just to pay their cafeteria bills) so we reduce our nation's overweight and unhealthy citizens.

There are a million ways to make the best of our system. Your reforms would be an about-face in the way we do business, mine just mean rerouting some money (or properly managing the money we DO have) to make sure we make the best of it.
