    Check out the tax rates back in the 1970's, and interest rates. We have it good.

    Taxes go to services and public aid, nothing wrong with that. If you can't afford an extra $500 for a NIB, maybe you shouldn't get one.

    Quoted from BagAJellyDonuts:

    Busy thread, may as well join in.

    I'm a flat tax advocate. One rate, nationwide on all transactions. I don't know if this will erased or moderated but it is complete nonsense that that form or revenue gathering is "regressive" or any other phony term invented to make us think it's a "bad" way of operating a revenue stream for a government. All a flat tax does it take away the power from both of the parade walking lying double talking bozos that are the core of both worthless parties. They can no longer give breaks as they feel it benefits them.
    Enough, delete as you wish. But it's pathetic that the assorted tax codes, the vast majority are not there to benefit the payer but the writer. And we can't figure out what's wrong?

    The US will have been dissolved or taken over by a foreign country long before a flat tax will ever happen, then it won't matter.

    The tax laws have always been designed to not only collect taxes, but influence public behavior. Personally as I see it, as the liability of state pension payouts increases, states have to do all they can. The tobacco lawsuit funds dried up years ago, and expenses were never cut to compensate.

    Quoted from underlord:

    Maybe a few, but fewer and fewer.

    If they can afford $7k for a pinball, they can afford 7.5k. What else are they gonna spend it on?

    Quoted from Who-Dey:

    Its not a matter of someone who can afford 7k can afford 7.5k. Its a matter of principal.

    To you maybe, I'm sure not to the majority of them.

    Quoted from underlord:

    Schlep here. I live in NH, my property taxes are high, sky high. For schools, trash pickup, etc.
    I work in Mass, I pay full State taxes for the privilege of working there, yet enjoy no benefits from public schools, trash pickup, etc.
    This isn’t the exempt church of pinball. Stern, JJP pay taxes on all components to assemble, employees pay wage tax, contractors supplying them pay taxes. Everyone pays.
    Meanwhile government spends money like idiots, since money has no direct loss to any particular person or group.. Look at a 401k. Market goes down, it drops quick and hard. Market goes up, 401 crawls up slow.

    Taxes are set by lawmakers, lawmakers are put into office by you. If your taxes are too high, it's because you and your fellow voters believe it's more important to pay for government expenses and provide some distribution of wealth to those less fortunate.

    If you think your taxes are too high, you're in for a much more funride in the next few years if Ocasio-Cortez gets her way.

    Quoted from underlord:

    I’ll always think my taxes are too high, c’mon man.
    Good example. Not a lot of snow so far this year. DPW was out salting roads on a 45 degree day. No snow in forecast. Cuz budget needs to be spent? Short term blindness. America has an epidemic of it. Long term thinkers are boring.
    Local contractor got punched when he was charging $400/curb for new hospital addition. Reporter asks city council: how much do these cost MY street? IDIOT says everyone pays $200/curb. Why? Cuz it’s a city contract with a hospital. So? Hospitals bring in taxes. Reporter says, ‘same excess you’re spending right now?’
    Idiot says, ‘Not right away. Within 10 years project pays for itself.’ Everyone laughs.
    Multiply this reasoning times 100,000+.
    Anyways...pinball.

    You're speaking to the choir as I held an elected position for 8 years, albeit at a local level. The things I saw just made me gave up in the end...you'll never change the mentality and culture that has been built over hundreds of years.

    That being said, how do you expect the states to meet their obligations? Plus they keep spending more and adding to the liabilities.

    Quoted from Lermods:

    This whole thing is a complete mess. Funny how it was designed to protect small businesses and now it’s going to do the complete opposite.

    Which is what usually happens when Government gets involved.
