ParticipantFunny about that Concho as several clients I have who have Canadian relatives, and even some of my own family in Canada came to the USA for medical procedures due to the length of time they had to wait for their own system to get them the procedure.
Again, it is sad to read postings where people do not even have fundamental knowledge about the source of where the tax money goes. Confusing sales tax with a VAT is a sad commentary. Most people have no clue about other taxes they pay, for example when the go pump gas at the pump. To hear people thing other taxes will go away when a VAT is implemented is crazy.
Once a tax is in place it doesn’t just go away.
***************
CAR I don’t buy into the only poor people have multiple jobs. I am a walking example of multiple jobs. For over 8 years I had my engineering job and my real estate business. I paid a higher tax rate because I made more money then if I had only one job. I also worked WAY more hours then someone who would have only had 1 of those jobs. With that money I made investments to make more money and get taxed at an even higher rate.
Anyways to me, a flat tax with NO loopholes makes a heck of alot of sense. Penalizing someone for busting ass and working hard makes no sense to me.

ParticipantTrue that… if a seller is in default during a short sale the notice of defaults and notice of trustee sales continue to be issued most of the time. So yes all of the notices in the statistics generally do not account for short sales in process and in some cases completed. There are times when we are researching what is going to sell at auction we come across homes already sold and closed escrow.

I do not have any problem with a regressive tax policy. As a libertarian my views are that govt should be smaller and as simple as possible. A regressive tax policy does not seem unfair to me. Some people feel that the more you make the more you should pay. So if I have 3 jobs and work 3 times as hard to make more money I should be penalized more and pay more taxes… Hmmm… like I said, to me THAT seems unfair.
Your greivances to me sound like they have more to do with the tax code and the loopholes then anything else. Yes a straight flat tax on any and all income sounds okay to me whether it is capital gains or income. As long as EVERYONE pays it, I see no problem with it.

ParticipantYet another problem, you associate progressive with fairness.
Not everyone thinks the same way you do.
