What an insane concept.
Fair taxes? People paying their fair share, regardless of how much money they make?
That almost sounds like a level playing field... and we can't have that.
Left wing Florida lawmakers are trying to make sure that socialism continues by opposing the latest proposed reforms in the property tax debate. Republicans want to abolish property taxes and raise the sales tax. That means that people who own homes would not be taxed twice (once when buying, and then again in property taxes).
Yes, the party of the working man is AGAINST this proposal.
A liberal think tank says it would hurt the poor. Wait a minute... I'm poor!
Let's examine this and find the truth.
If it passed, rich people would end up funnelling tons of money into government coffers when they buy their new BMWs, and I would put a couple extra pennies in when I buy my bottle of soda. If I am ever lucky enough to own a home, it would mean that I wouldn't have to worry about astronomical tax bills every six months. If I continue to rent, I wouldn't have to worry about my landlord gouging me because of her tax rates.
Hold on, the damage to the poor has to be here somewhere.
If this plan goes through, drug dealers and other criminals who pay no taxes at all would start helping to fund public education when they buy their guns and expensive clothes. This public education is... free to poor people.
Wait, that didn't work either.
Here are the real facts. Liberalism exists because left wing politicians don't want poor people to have to pay anything for the services that they take advantage of. They would rather steal money from hard working rich people and hand it over to the lazy poor people. As a poor person, I kind of like the idea of helping out as much as I can to fund services that I might eventually use.
Isn't that the fairest way?
Granted, I probably don't qualify for the programs that I am funding, because I haven't fathered 70 children with no way to care for them, but maybe someday I can be irresponsible enough to deserve government help.But I digress.
The sales tax initiative probably won't pass because it is far too logical. At it's base, it asks one question.
Should everyone pay for what everyone gets?
The answer is yes, unless you are a socialist, an idiot, or both.

I agree, lets tax the rich to the point where it no longer makes sense to try and be successful.
If we take away all the benifits of getting ahead then why would anyone want to.
Let make people responsible for themselves.
Social programs were not meant to be a way of life, they were meant as tempory support to help someone until they get back on their feet, not so that they can lay an thier arse.
Great point K-Dog. And not one that I thought of. The point of competition is to make people want to make themselves better. When we lose that, we become socialist. And that's when we get Canada's medical system and it will take us 6 months to see a doctor for cold symptoms.
Good words.
