How many 7 figure folks do you know that pay their "fair" share of taxes? Wake up.
BTW, I'm not a socialist. I enjoy making my money. I just don't like lawyers manipulating the laws taking it away. Actually, I just really don't like lawyers.

fairtax.org

Otherwise, the behavior your alluding to is 100% incentivized. ie. Do you leave exemptions and deductions on the table?

Harsh much?
What I read from said poster would very much be considered English... perhaps not perfect syntax or fluency (the FAR's don't require fluency btw). Most other ICAO countries require an English proficiency skills test, where the highest level of fluency is very difficult to obtain. I'd bet most native English speakers would have trouble with the highest level of the test.

Imagine for a moment that English wasn't the official aviation language (French almost was, instead French became the official international postal language) and you went abroad for flight training, how do you think you would fare with your limited knowledge of other languages?

When the test was initially administered back in 2007, there were some native English speakers that did not pass due to heavy accent!

Fairtax.org...a GREAT idea!!!

There are way too many people in the US not paying their fair share of taxes, either thru illegal activities, or by using tax loopholes designed so the rich can pay less taxes...so the middle class has to pick up the burden.

And, I would even go for a Flat Tax....ALL monies received in that year, from any source, are taxed at a fixed % for everyone. This would drastically increase the amount of taxes the 1% pay...but it won't help for illegal income that is not reported or hidden...

Default really?

Think about what you're saying. You want the 1% of the population to pay their fair share. They are only 1% of the population. I get it if they actually paid up to 39% in taxes instead of say, 12% by using so called loopholes. Which, btw, these loopholes are available to everyone paying taxes and are legal. That 1%, the rich, are not going to make a dent in our problem by paying more.

Tax consumption not property, earnings, or savings.
