I agree with Bob. Why should the rich be taxed more heavily? I don't
mean in absolute dollar terms, in percentage terms. If the tax rate is
10% for those 'deserving poor', why should it be higher for the
'******* rich'?

As for closing loopholes, really Jon, have you no knowledge of history,
or is this yet another manifestation of your determination to see the
world as you wish it was, rather than as it is? Show me *one* place or
country where closing loopholes etc has achieved what you want. At most
you get get richer middle class accountants, an increased tax burden on
the few people who can't find a way around the new rules, more complex
enforcement procedures and at last resort a flight of capital and
emigration of the rich.

In short, it doesn't work. It never has worked. Absent a worldwide
agreement on tax regimes and treatments, it never will work. It is a
waste of time.

Show me one country where your policy has been successfully
implemented. AFAIK there isn't one. OTOH Ireland has gotten a lot more
wealthy by reducing its tax rates.

So has the USA, or at least the revenues to the IRS have increased
following tax cuts. Richer is a relative term here, considering that we
always tend to spend considerably more than we accrue.

A federal sales tax is the only equitable method of taxing individuals.
Compensations would have to be made for the poor, but at least everyone
else has the option of paying more or less tax by virtue of his/her buying
habits. And no one is taxed at a higher rate than any other, the poor
notwithstanding.

I see only two solutions. Everyone pays the same fee for government, it
would not be percentage based. The other solution is a feedback system,
where for every dollar in income tax one pays, one would get one vote.
People who are taxed more would vote for reduced taxes and have the means to
achieve it. Corporations would also be allowed to vote.

Amen!

Geez, Max! You are starting to sound like Jon Ganz with the accusations.

The reason I know about grapefruit juice and medications is because I've
been taking care of my Grandmother for the last 10 years. She is 89 and has
been in the hospital for a least a month or more each year for the last 4
years. This last December, the Arab doctor nearly killed her with
medications. At least one of her medications for her heart condition can't
be taken with grapefruit juice.

When Bob Crantz mentioned the grapefruit juice, I just assumed it was one of
the many meds you can't take with it. Now you are accusing me of being a
druggie. Maybe you should jump rope instead of jumping to conclusions?
