New Tax Bill - Are you getting relief?

[Subvet642]

I haven't looked at whether I'll personally save any money but the way I figure it, the simpler the better. If I had my way, there would be a flat tax with no deductions, in other words, a one line tax code. The way I see it, if we are all equal, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, then the tax code should treat us all equally; rich and not-so-rich alike. I'm just a security guard but I am so sick of society thinking that just because someone is wealthy they are somehow "prey animals" for the rest of us to feed upon, figuratively speaking.

Even better, just trash the 16th Amendment altogether and go back to taxing the way it was previously.
