Default Re: Support the Fair Tax! No more taxes on your poker winnings!

I just can't imagine anything more "regressive" than a tax that punishes hard work and accomplishment such as the system in place now.

Amercans spend billions of dollars and thousands of hours anually preparing for the income tax....something is obviously broken in the current sytem....so what is the best option?

I can't tell you how many times I've heard a fellow worker say that "I can only work 8 hours of overtime a week because anything more than that just goes to taxes" or heard the "expert" financial analysts advice to retain mortgage debt because of the tax impact.

In addition to all that, the income tax allows the imperial federal government to keep every citizen under their constant scrutiny and fear of "audits".

I would love to see a system that encourages hard work and *gasp* savings instead of selling your life to the bank becuase you're going to save some money in taxes.

Just my thoughts......

Thanks for the input!
