Do you think that will finally get rid of the income tax soon, and if we do will it be a good thing?

Lowered taxes.... no terrorist attacks, economy booming (because of lowered taxes), unemployment at it's lowest *ever* (again, because of lowered taxes), fighting the Islamic Jihadist (who wish to take away my right to exist)....\n\nIs that enough?

Sure, if that's what is needed.  Truthfully, we have a great deal of tax revenue.  But I'd like to see it going for roads, education, health care, programs to help impoverished people.  And that's what tax revenue is for, to keep society functioning smoothly.  I also would like to see an equitable tax system.  And I'd like to see bureaucracy cut, one of the biggest drains of tax revenues.  And I'd like to see...\n\nPeace.

No. I think that the best thing for America would be to close our borders to illegal aliens, send the illegals that are already here back to the country of their origen, and to lower the marginal tax rate so that American business will be able to compete in the world market instead of sending our jobs abroad.

A flat tax would tax everyone at the same rate (percentage).  There would be no exemptions or exceptions.  There would be no loop holes for the very rich to use.  A flat tax would almost eliminate the need for an IRS.  That alone is a good reason to implement a flat tax.  The other tax that has been discussed with the "USE TAX".  That would tax everything we buy but not everything we earn.

Eliminating the taxes on earnings created from savings account would encourage savings.

Nah. I think it could be great. War would be rare, people would eat well, education would change to fit individual need, and taxes could be lowered because spending would be different.

I have heard that it is better to set up a Simplified Employee Pension, which would also reduce your taxable income.

I say YES. Why should my tax dollars go to keep some low life alive. With free medical, three meals a day, dental, better than some hard working people get. I don't care what you call it, maybe it is revenge.

Yes. All tips should be 100% tax free. Individual people paying other individual people for private services have already paid taxes on that money a dozen times over.

We could get rid of income taxes and just raise sales taxes to ridiculously high rates. We could kidnap people from other countries and reinstate slavery and then use the money they would be making if they were free to pay for roads, education, federal defense, etc... instead. We could strike oil in amounts similar to those found in Saudi Arabia so we'd never have to charge taxes again. We could eliminate public schools, stop building roads and infrastructure, and get rid of our military. But I don't think anyone would care for the first three ways, and the last one just isn't going to happen.

Not for years.  But we will have congressional oversight! Lets see the congressional hearings, committees, and House and Senate investigations get started.  I think it is time to sort things out and see some accountability.   Maybe rolling back the tax cuts on the top ten percent of American tax payers as well as the corporate welfare is a good place to begin.   Work is cut out for us.

Sounds good, I would take it a step further, taxes to be standard, and simplified, as in 10 percent... Now, wouldn't that be nice?

I think it's a great idea too. Everyone should, at some point in their life, contribute something (other than taxes) to the country they live in. Making it mandatory would make it less enjoyable, however. People should do it because it's the right thing to do, not because it's required.

Sure I do. Income tax is usually geared to help the wealthy, the people in power. If government income was to come from sales tax alone, and on everything except food it would much more fair for the poor. The more you buy, the more taxes you pay, what could be more fair?
