Hi guys -- I read your thread about taxes, and hope you don't mind another 
opinion on this.  I honestly think there should be a tax based on the 
percentage of what you make and not on what you buy.  It seems that we often 
get triple or quadruple taxed.  We get taxed on our salary, then taxed on 
what we spend our salary on.  Then at the end of the year if we didn't pay 
in what the government thinks we owe we pay in more.  Plus what's with all 
the fee's like to fish, get married, etc.  I can see paying a fee to enter a 
park or church for the services, but why does the state/government get it's 
chunk?

I think if they made it flat ... 20% to federal and 5-10% to state right off 
the top with no sales tax, we'd be good.  Also instead of saying $X is for 
education, $X is for military, etc, have it to where 0.05% of your taxes are 
for this or that.  This means the more folks work the more goes back into 
each government aided program.  People can see where their dollars are 
going.

Just my thoughts on this.  

Sam
