"I firmly believe the government can be run generously with a 10% income tax collection (and no sales tax). We just need to change our attitudes about tax and the responsibilities of the government." Run, and generously? So wrong. It won't probably cover free medical for every citizen in a deveopled country. Oh, wait! USA doen'st provide free health care for all. "Pay 10% flat tax" is normally an argument from the high to very high income groups - nothing wrong about you here. A non-married person earning 70K pays >45% in taxes, medicare, social insurances etc in Germany , sales taxes come on top of that. France should be not far from that. For that - medicare, education and many many others are free or close to free for all of the citizens. Its unaccepatable that big companies earning billions pay less than 10-15% through loopholes.
