Should everyone pay the same percentage of federal income tax?

No, but the very rich should pay at least the same percentage I do.

Yes eliminate the brackets.

Do not eliminate deductions.

Everyone same percent before deductions, including capital gains. I dont like hearing the wealthy ***** about paying taces twice for capital gains thats a load of crap. Capital gains are income plain and simple. Its not their money to befin with, only the initial investment is. Of course we shouldnt tax a withdrawl on savings or investments, but we absolutely should tax the interest earned. If im ever a millionaire i will still agree.

Between state, federal, and self employement taxes i will pay 25% of my earnings. Just those three items equate to 25% of my earnings! I make less than $50,000 pet year. Thats ludicrous. Im a single male none the less, no dependants, no house, and rarely enough itemized deductions to put even a scratch in my tax liability. Id feel better if wealthy individuals had to pay the same, and those earning less as well.

I think we should have a flat tax or at least not have brackets and use an equation resembling a cube root curve. We need to get rid of loop holes and deductions other than ones for business and charity.

Yes - 0%
