Romeo Tinnea: Income tax. Sales tax is regressive.
Stanton Villao: When we have even a little bit of a choice, then ask this question.
Marcellus Yoshimori: Sorry but "or?" We have both and I doubt they will ever only have a VAT. They will probably have both! They want all of our money!BTW, here in CA we have about 10% sales tax PLUS about 10% income tax PLUS the federal income tax PLUS property taxes PLUS .... We are being taxed to death and the Sacramento weasels think it's a "revenue problem" instead of a "spending problem."...Show more
Irma Poiter: How about charging people to live in homeless shelters. How about taxing social security so the people that paid nothing into it have to pay what they steal out of our checks every week! Oops I guess expecting anyone to pay taxes is ridiculous based on the fact that our forefathers rebelled against Great Britain to avoid paying taxes. It was that gigantic retard Abraham Lincoln that started income taxes. O! ops two lousy Presidents from Illinois how could that happen?...Show more
Neville Dautremont: The government should not be able to take money out of someone's paycheck; definitely sales tax.
Len Bormes: neither?
Jade Ohno: NOTE: Since you have made this a choice between one or the other, I will answer your question directly and then I will present you with some of what I truly believe about what really happens to our so called tax dollars.I believe taxes on goods purchased would be the only fair way to go.Of course, I think that all other taxes should be eliminated. By this I mean, state taxes should go by the way side and all tax revenue collected should then be given back to the states to pay for needed services.I don't believe the government should be able to hold states hostage by saying if you don't do certain things, we will withhold tax revenue from you.EDIT: Read the following links to get better informed about what some places (even here in the! U.S.) are doing about Federal Reserve Notes.http://www.dailyp! aul.com/node/76166http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1...http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/end_the_fed_...EDIT: One other thing to think about is this. We already had the FBI and CIA before 9/11. They proved very good (for the most part) in tracking, and keeping in check, the terrorists.After 9/11 happened, we all of a sudden get Homeland Security. Doesn't this add a big tax burden to the average American?So, when you say we have a government and they need money to run, don't you think they should downsize quite a bit so that our tax burden wouldn't be so hugh to begin with?EDIT: The two thing that President Jackson, President Lincoln, President McKinley, President Garfield, and President Kennedy all have in common is this.All were assasinated (except President Jackson who escaped assasination when the bullets just wouldn't fire out of the gun) and all wanted the coinage of money put in the hands of Congress and not in the hands of a central bank.EDIT! : How do you think the United States survived before the enormous burden of taxes that was placed on the average American?Read the following link and see what President Jackson thought of a central bank and also consider the fact that he only wanted gold and silver to be our real money. Never was paper money to be our currency.http://reformation.org/president-jackson.htmlThis is President Jackson's veto of a central bank--http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/ajveto01.a...Now back to what I really and truly believe about so called "income" taxes.I know that my answer will probably knock your socks off but the truth to the matter is that we need neither of those.On the top of each of your so called dollars are the words "FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE".Since it is a note, it is not true income. You and I work for free.Read the following link and pay particular attention to the second question and its answer (in particular the last paragraph and it will tell you exactly what Feder! al Reserve Notes are backed by and, more importantly, what backs them.h! ttp://www.treas.gov/education/faq/currency/legal-...It's interesting to note that it says that Federal Reserve Notes are "backed" by all the goods and services in the economy.Think about that for a second. Federal Reserve Notes are "backed" by what? By the goods and services in the economy.In other words, the goods and services in the economy are collateral for Federal Reserve Notes.There will be people who say things such as "Hey, didn't you read all of the questions?".I have and I have a very good understanding of what they are and aren't good for. And one of the things they aren't good for is paying taxes.Also read the following links thoroughly and you will see that the Federal Reserve Corp. (excuse me, the Federal Reserve Bank) is the one that actually gets our tax dollars.http://www.tax-freedom.com/ta24003.htmhttp://www.devvy.com/notax.html...Show more
Forest Duttinger: A sales tax is fairer.
Isreal Kochheiser: I'd prefer a flat tax to cut out hidden ta! xes. Also some budget cutting that would cut out unnecessary, pork barrel and frivolous spending.
Adrian Paraz: We should have an income tax if we need one.I would prefer a flat tax,with no one exempted.You make 200 million you pay 15%,you make 22,000 you pay 15%,THE ENDAnd if anyone comes in with that "Fair Tax" BS,let me say now that is the stupidest idea ever.Basically it would be the biggest tax break,for the richest people in America,in our history.Might as well tell all the millionaires they don't even need to pay taxes anymore.AD...Show more
Scot Rotruck: Whichever, the government will still find ways to screw us.
Sunshine Holets: Income tax; a more flatter,but somehow more progressive one. Since it's poorer volk like me whom have to use the most of whatever money I make from work just to buy the necessaries of life anyways. Also because sales taxes tend to take away more percentage of income from the poorer members of our society than the super-ri! ch idlers whom just live off their investments made by their ancestors ! 5 generations ago. Not everyone is smart enough to go to college U know!...Show more
Hilde Heskett: Neither, But If I had to choose . . . Income tax.
Blaine Connett: No tax on moneys earned should be levied ANYWHERE in the US. Only sales taxes, consumption taxes, should be levied. Only the Fair Tax makes sense.Also, no property taxes should be allowed, nor corporate taxes. Corporations DO NOT PAY tax; they collect them and pass those costs onto the customer or other end user....Show more
Julieta Suleiman: I prefer reasonable taxation WITH representation. We haven't had either in a long time.
Eli Trapeni: NO TAXES for anyone making less than a million. All the reasons the right wing/conservatives/republicans give for not heavily taxing the wealthy are complete horsesh*t. They're just clever tricks using economic and mathematical jargon to fool the unknowing into thinking that making the wealthy wealthier is "good for America". These bastards only car! e about protecting the rich. They don't care about you or the other 98% of Americans....Show more
