        It's perfectly reasonable for a middle class person to have over a million dollars of wealth tied up in real estate or a 401.k, but this person would likely struggle to pay your $50K+ in "wealth tax" every year.

        are you really proposing that I get taxed 5% on the value of my retirement savings?

          I'm open to a flat tax.

            No, D is the minority. Have you looked at the White House, Legislature, or Supreme Court lately?

                Guessing he's slightly less accomplished than an accountant the rich people employ. Not a knock on your accountant, he suits your needs. However, guessing you'd upgrade if you could/had to.

                Accountants are like lawyers. Do you call the guy you see on the tv ad? Maybe, if that's all you need. Or do you go for the super-high-priced exclusive one that you really need?

                  don't buy that. you have no taxes on first 200k on income you have cash to cover that tax on the van gogh in your hallway. controlled taxes to fund directed national healthcare. controlled taxes to pay for and fund social security. anyone no longer paying 25% on income gonna ***** about 5% wealth can go live on a commune.

                    flat taxes are a bad idea. Due to the diminishing marginal utility of money, a flat tax "harms" lower income people more than it harms high income people. A progressive tax structure is the most "fair".

                              And this is why I'm not committed to a flat tax, I am only open to hearing the pros and cons. I won't simply dismiss it, nor simply accept it. I don't like the idea that if I work my butt off to get more money, all of a sudden I have to pay a bigger % because I can afford to. That doesn't sit well with me. In my eyes, it actually encourages me to make juuuuusssst enough to not jump to the next tax bracket, or to find write-offs and loopholes to pay less taxes.

                                you don't pay property tax now? your house is 400k? that's 20k. your first 200k in income isn't taxed. that smells like you making out clown!
