Russia Just Invaded Ukraine

[Seran]

In my opinion we should have a flat sales tax to make it fair to everyone’s. The only legal tax is sales tax and property tax. I am fine with a corporate tax as well. This is my problem with taxes

City, State, County Property tax
City state county Sales tax
State and federal Income tax
Payroll tax
Gift tax
Fuel tax
iExcise tax in the United States
Short term capital gains tax
Long term capital gains tax

The list is fucking never ending and I am sure I forgot a bunch

You just named an entire tax system at the local, state, federal level, said you're okay with some local taxes, but expect to fund a nationwide defense, entitlement, small business investment and home mortgage guarantees by somehow splitting corporate and a regressive sales tax to cover all federal and state level systems? That's not remotely realistic.

So have you abandoned the other thread because you realized you were wrong? You also called me a cuck. I’d like an apology.

It says the federal government has the power to collect taxes and lists some reasons for why those taxes may be needed, it doesn't say the federal government can just tax the shit out of everything to pay for each and every one of their little pet projects.

Just like the constitution clearly states that each house of Congress can make their own rules, yet when the Senate does just that Seran throws a bitch fit and says "But the constitution doesn't specifically mention a filibuster!!"

While it may not explicitly state that about pet projects, it’s pretty clear that Congress has the authority to tax whatever it wants. That’s why the people have the ultimate check of voting them out if the government oversteps.

I'm sorry who are you?

I’m unsurprised you have no idea.

So we agree that while it may not explicitly state anything about a filibuster rule, the constitution does state both houses of congress are allowed to create whatever rules they want?

VP.

So 50 is a majority in the Senate, given the VP will break a tie.

Sounds like Seran farted out an opinion again that was proven incorrect.

Over 80% of all government spending is spent on garbage and wasted. With our current system of government spending of course a flat tax would not work. The funniest part is no tax works because congress just blows it.

The government needs to be ran like a business not an unlimited piggyback for all the pork projects that literally do nothing but waste money.

Yes it is. The income tax is a wealth redistribution system and since the defense budget is about 1/6th of the federal budget, and entitlements are over 3/5ths, if you get rid of the entitlements then you can fund the rest with the other federal income. We fought 2 world wars and funded pretty much all of government up to the 50s and 60s without it being a significant contributor of funds for legitimate functions of government. Stop being a moron.

BTW, here is a breakdown of the income to the Federal Government courtesy of https://www.nationalpriorities.org/b...-101/revenues/

50 isn't a majority in a 100 vote chamber. If you're gonna squeeze out a fart of an opinion, you should know 51 votes is a majority.

You really have no idea how the Senate works do you? There's a 101st vote on the table. I'll let you try to figure out who that 101st person is.

Shaps already ruined the opportunity to have a learning lesson for Seran.

THANKS SHAPS YOU A-HOLE
