So you two economist really think that the guy that makes 1 mil a year really buys that much more stuff than the average Joe? The reality is that, just as Ozark alluded to, the rich guy goes to Cancun, while old Joe buys his groceries here and pays through the nose. Yeah you can buy a used car and don't have to worry about it, but you can do that now. While Joe pays taxes on almost everything he earns, the rich guy buys a little more, but puts the rest into investments and when he turns a profit he simply keeps investing, eventually doing it overseas where the economy is growing, due to the poor economy and class unrest created here.

But hey, if you guys think Liberty can see a good plan, feel free to jump in here and pat him on the back.

Duko, you're absolutely right that the present tax situation sucks, but trying to get a system thats so simple congress can understand it is obviously too simple to be worth the effort.
