if you change the marginal tax rate, for example, will you not see a change in tax revenues? If you eliminate a certain tax exemption, will you not see a change in tax revenues?
I am amused by your dimwitted and simplistic view of what change means. You really think that because it changes the amount of revenues, real change occurs? How stupid are you?
By change, I am talking about the goals of the tax changes.
Does increasing or decreasing Federal revenue through the current tax code eliminate the massive deficits the Government is racking up; no it does not because the Government will continue to spend more than it takes in.
Does increasing or decreasing Federal revenue through the current tax code eliminate poverty; no it does not because even after spending $20 trillion on wealth redistribution schemes there is more poverty than ever before.
Does increasing or decreasing Federal revenue through the current tax code create good high paying jobs; no it does not, and even now, after raising taxes on the rich in 2011, there is more unemployment and more low paying part time jobs than ever.
Does increasing or decreasing Federal revenue through the current tax code reduce political corruption and cronyism; no it does not, and if anything it creates more of the same.
Does increasing or decreasing Federal revenue through the tax code reduce the amount of subsidies handed out by corrupt politicians to favored businesses; no it does not, and if anything, increases it.
So you see shit-for-brains; nothing actually changes. Government continues to operate in the same dysfunctional way no matter how much you tweak the tax code.
However, if you eliminate the current tax code and implement REAL change through a Fair Tax or Flat Tax, then you can see real economic change and a reduction in the corruption caused under the current system.
Just how fucking dumb are you? really?
Just how fucking dumb and dishonest are you? Really?
Carry on Commander shit-for-brains; next you will be telling us how the wealthy cause poverty.
Moron.
