What I honestly think is that our tax system is fine- we just spend the money in the wrong places and there are those who don't give their fare share.
The philosophy behind "punishment for success" is fucking stupid especially for corporations or any wealthy person who makes money from the common wealth. Success in American isn't something a person just wakes up decides to become. If people pay you for services and goods, you should be giving up more tax money to make sure those people (fellow AMERICANS) are still in a good situation to by from you.
I'm down for FairTax if it'll work. But the abuses of that system by the wealthy are risky. There's are people who make money finding loopholes.
