Only 25% sounds like a bargain relative to the USA. Add up your sales tax, gas tax, car registration fees, airline surcharges, etc. Heck, try to decipher a friggin phone bill.

It's time for another Tea party, IMO.

Americans for Fair Tax

Eliminate income tax, substitute national sales tax which taxes the massive underground economy, and give tax rebates to lower income families for what they paid on food, medicine etc.

I majored in economics, you dumb [censored], and at a much better college than UF, too.

Actually, the cold war defeated an authoritative system that happened to be socialist as well. This is a key distinction, in my opinion. If you have a well-functioning democracy (I have no knowledge of whether Brazil does or not), then there's nothing wrong in my opinion with a consensus socialist government. Democracy and socialism aren't mutually exclusive at all. There's a lot of nice Scandanavian contries that are proof!

I'm all for simplifying the tax code. I don't see any politicians lining up for this, and the average American cares more about Jerry Springer.

Heck in Michigan here we pay sales tax on federal and state gas taxes. Double dipping all the way to the bank.

I'm thinking about getting some T-Shirts printed up that say "I am NOT a &^%#*$& revenue stream".
