That adds up to 30%. That's a pretty hefty bite.
If God is happy with 10%, who is the Federal Government to demand more?
So:
Repeal 16th Amendment: Taxing income is bad business, permits deductive manipulation for those who can afford it, demands excessive record keeping, created the demon institution known as I.R.S., and provides avenues for cheaters.
Move to Sales Tax.
New Amendment:
Federal Government may apply up to and not beyond a 10% sales tax. This replaces all other taxes. Excise taxes, and taxes disguised as fees, licenses, etc., are prohibited.
Federal Government shall remain within its budget. If it needs more money, it may petition either the states, or God if he is so inclined. If 10% is good enough for God, surely it is good enough for the Federal Government who's territory is smaller.
Corporations may apply to God for Loans, Give aways, attorney fees, and redemption.

Bah, can't get through filter.
It must cap everyone because those who support the Birth issue have been so enthusiastic.
Way-to-go, guys.
Anyway, moderator, I'm not a birth certificate advocate, my ideas just fine, and this one is just funny. Plus, it is entirely reasonable.
Let it Thru.
Do not steal from me. Tax is theft.
Progressive tax system is fair for everyone, just needs to be cleaned up to get rid of the loopholes.
Fair tax or national sales tax is a regressive tax system where the poor pay higher percentages of income on the tax system and businesses pay next to nothing. Also, doing away with IRS would remove any need to launder dirty money. This notion of a national sales tax is the drug cartels advancement of an idea via lobbyists to congress. Follow the money!
Income tax, progressive or regressive is inherently unfair. Examine it closer.
Doing away with the I.R.S. is a wonderful thought. Let's do. Also, let's get government out of the money market. They have sufficient voice through purchasing power alone.
There would be no drug cartels had government not carved out a black market for them. Black markets exist because government confuses its role.
Black markets are people refusing to be intimidated.
I support black markets whole-heartedly.
call a spade a spade tax is taking without permission or stealing or theft. Now say it with me fair theft. Hahahah fair theft now way stealing is never moral or fair even to save your childs life. Stop being a brainwashed slave and start thinking. Stop advocating immoral theft no matter how benovelent you chose to call it stealing is not an acceptable way for humans to behave.
What impact would a sales tax have on the poor? Right now, if someone earns below the poverty line (which is rediculously low as several expenses like transportation are not calculated) they are exempt from income tax. Suddenly, they are hit with sales tax on ALL of their purchases. Rich person has ways to avoid a sales tax by buying overseas or other ways. So this is unfair.
Not as much as you imagine it might.
The primary expenses for the poor are housing and food. Rent is not taxed because it is not considered retail. Food is traditionally not taxed because it is required.
For most of the poor, that leaves about 30% of their income subject to a 10% tax.
Stop spouting the propaganda lie. TAX is theft. You say what impact would stealing money from people when they purchas goods have on the poor? Why do you continue to advocate stealing diding you learn as a child are you religios does the 8th commandment say thou shal not steal except if Karidrgn calls it tax for the good of the chrildren and poor. A special place in hell for those who advocate theft even if they rename it TAX. Grow your own food you lazy turd stop promoting theft and lies.
