this healthcare law is a joke. a very terrible joke. it is nothing more than a way to “redistribute wealth”. taking from people who made something of theirselves and giving it to lazy, prideless people who think someone owes them something and they have no problem with sticking their hand out and doing nothing to help the system. now, this joke of a left wing admin. wants to hand out money they do not have. if you think this healthcare hoax is covered by present taxes you have your head in the sand. the fed can’t control the welfare it’s handing out now. food stamps, section8 housing,free cell phones; all out of control and frauded to pieces. what makes you think the fed can control health care, which is something they know nothing about!

Why not have a flat tax per bracket? One where the income (all sources) and the number of dependents would be controlling factors in determining the taxes for each bracket. Brackets start at some level such $30k and increases by say $10k for each bracket.

The USA should abolish the income tax in its entirety and replace it with a value added or consumption tax BUT WITH NO EXCEPTIONS for what some people will rationalize as helping the poor. Have NO exceptions and keep it simple. With no income taxes the US economy would explode with investments from around the world and there would be prosperity on an incredible level FOR ALL!!!
Where is Malcom Forbes when you need him. He was rejected but now those right wing nutsos are seriously considering Palin. OMG!!! I’m so happy to live in Canada!

If the USA could only find a strong enough/smart enough leader to abolish the Income Tax in its entirety and replace with a consumption or Value Added tax

The health care law already includes taxes to more than pay for it.

10 billion over ten years? I think you got your numbers wrong. 10 billion over ten years is pennies compared to our current rate of spending. Fairly important error, if you ask me.
