Flat tax. Even the losers making 12k a year like young Homo Lover pay.

Decent, but you still end up with a large portion of capable people who pull from/are a burden on the system without contributing anything to it. That's like doing no work on a group project but still getting an A with everyone else. How do you get people who receive subsidies but have zero income to contribute a "fair" share? Or do you make it where if you don't put in you can't take out?

If you don’t pay in you don’t take out. Charity ceases to be charity when it’s forced. Then it becomes extortion of the producers by the leeches.

I fully agree with this. I can also foresee the what-about argument against it.
What about the people who are physically or mentally unable to work, do they get nothing? What constitutes being unable to work? What about the children? And you just keep going down the slope from there.

My best thought on it would be drop all other taxes and go to something centered around sales tax and tariffs. Everyone buys stuff regardless of where the money actually comes from (income or subsidies). Maybe a flat sales tax; maybe tax rate based on the type of goods; IDK... It's not a perfect basis but at least people with zero income who don't work and take from the system would put some of that back in.

Sick people who legitimately can’t work are a tiny fraction of people that don’t work. The burden of supporting them would be easily managed if we weren’t already paying for millions of losers like Young Homo Lover.
 
You need a marketable skill first, loser. 😉

Do you know who cares about percentage of income ? Jealous people. Lazy people. People who want other people to pay for shit they use. Progressive income tax is bullshit. You want to keep a higher percentage of your income, do the fucking work, get a good job.

The top 10% pay 40% of all federal tax. The bottom 31% pay zero.

You're really fucking stupid. Seriously.
 
Did you get special training to learn how to use a bobcat? I bet they don't know you snuck over to the backhoe and starting playing with the controls.

First off, Bobcat is a brand not a specific machine. Second off that's not a backhoe. It's a trackhoe. Specifically a Yanmar 35 mini excavator. Which is smaller than my tractor when I was up in the city, but considering the areas I work in it's sized appropriately. If I put my blade behind me I can get down to around 11'. Not too much I'm messing with any deeper than that.
