Mick -

Didn't see a question, except whom do I represent.  We mainly represent manufacturers and airport operators.

My wife won't even sit on a motorcycle - she's scared to death of them.

Regardless of how many rich folks of varying descriptions there are in the U.S., the fact remains that the federal deficit is so high that their tax rate, of any amount, is like one grain of sand on the beach.

Yes I think you are talking about Sweden,but then again like England ,
only the wealthy get hit with the big tax bills,and that is why British movie stars live here for 7 months of the year,they can claim US residents because they live longer here than the UK ,Prime example
Cathrine Zeta Jones . Paul McCartney,John Lennon.and a very old pair , Bob Hope.and Charley Chaplin,but they later became citizens.
there are many many more.
When I lived in England the rich got hammered real bad , but me ?
I got taxed about the price a pack of cigs.



thats funny, A gallup poll say 1/3 want to leave Britain, and 45% of 30-45 YO's want to leave?  Prime time working age folks.
Why would ANYONE want to leave such a wonderful place?
All the free healthcare you want?
How is the motorcycling there?

You are, in essence, describing the Fair Tax. Bear in mind, you eliminate the income tax so that your check would now reflect everything you earn.

I honestly find nothing funny in the poll,did you also read about all the Americans who are trying to immigrate to Australia ? and New Zealand,
and even Canada,and guess what 15000 a year actually immigrate to the UK,I guess some people just have a little gypsy in them.
Personally I find hardly any difference between England and the US,and with the weather here in Oregon about the same as the UK ,I can hardly tell,you all ride on the wrong side of the road. And there are millions without health care.
Another piece of trivia 50% of people who immigrate here go home within a year or two, not counting mexicans.
If my kids and family didn't live here I would go home in a heartbeat.
But with two passports I can live where ever the heck I like.
It does not matter if I become a citizen of any country in the world I would still be British, that is the one thing that is a fact I cannot lose my British citizenship,ever. Born British - Die British.

National sales tax is regressive - the poor people pay a higher proportion of what they make to live on than the rich. The stupid tax bill passed today gives the richest 2 % a 2 year tax break. - that's millionaires and billionaires, who happen to own 80% of all of the money in the US. But those single people making 20,000 or less a year are getting a $200.00 tax increase per year. That is 2 hours+ of work time to pay for new takes.  
That is nothing to a rich guy, it is a lot to a poor person.
Stupid politicians and stupid rich people swindle America every day. I didn't see the rich create any new jobs in the last 10 years. -But they sent a lot of jobs overseas.http://suzukisavage.com/yabb2.2/Smilies/thumbdown.gif

I wish the rich were stupid,clearly we are the stupid ones we get the shaft and they get richer, and this after Obama promised not to raise taxes on people making less than 250,000 what happend to that promise ? What happened so the single payer health package ?
Ooops,it was the republicans blocking every move the president made.
Well don't worry guys you will have Sarah Palin in 2012,I'm sure she will solve all our problems.
