Think your taxes were bad this year?

Add the additional taxes on to big oil and watch the cost of gas really skyrocket... you'll be begging for $4 a gallon... or we can tax them to the point that they sell all their oil to china and let china sell the oil back to the US at 3 times the cost...

The problem with our tax system is that it is corrupt. Some pay more than others, others pay nothing and still others actually get more money back than they pay in. But in my oppinion the whole fight over taxes is just a ploy to keep the focus off of the ral problem which I believe to be spending. I can't think of a single reason why any person in this country should be paying more than 10 percent in taxes unless the government is spending WAY too much. A 10 percent consumption tax would have us all on equal ground and have the rich paying way more in actual taxes than we regular people do simply because they are able to spend more. It would end much of the corruption in the system too. If ya ll want to argue over who pays what why not argue that we should all pay the same rate?
