My point is that most people, even when they pretend to rally around our Constitution, acually have little comprehension of how it actually works.

The reason we need the flat tax: I started to understand below as I read but why in Hell so complicated? @laughingduck
[h=3]Self-employed people[/h] A tax similar to the FICA tax is imposed on the earnings of self-employed individuals, such as independent contractors and members of a partnership. This tax is imposed not by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act but instead by the Self-Employment Contributions Act of 1954, which is codified as Chapter 2 of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. § 1401 through 26 U.S.C. § 1403 (the "SE Tax Act"). Under the SE Tax Act, self-employed people are responsible for the entire percentage of 15.3% (= 12.4% [Soc. Sec.] + 2.9% [Medicare]); however, the 15.3% multiplier is applied to 92.35% of the business's net earnings from self-employment, rather than 100% of the gross earnings; the difference, 7.65%, is half of the 15.3%, and makes the calculation fair in comparison to that of regular (non-self-employed) employees. It does this by adjusting for the fact that employees' 7.65% share of their SE tax is multiplied against a number (their gross income) that does not include the putative "employer's half" of the self-employment tax. In other words, it makes the calculation fair because employees don't get taxed on their employers' contribution of the second half of FICA, therefore self-employed people shouldn't get taxed on the second half of the self-employment tax. Similarly, self-employed people also deduct half of their self-employment tax (schedule SE) from their gross income on the way to arriving at their adjusted gross income (AGI). This levels the amount paid by self-employed persons in comparison to regular employees, who don't pay general income tax on their employers' contribution of the second half of FICA, just as they didn't pay FICA tax on it either.[SUP][10][/SUP][SUP][11][/SUP]
These calculations are made on Schedule SE: Self-Employment Tax, although that is not readily apparent to novice self-employed taxpayers, owing to the schedule's rather opaque name, which makes it sound like it is part of the general federal income tax. Some taxpayers have complained that Schedule SE's title should be changed to something such as "Self-Employment FICA Tax", so that its separateness from the general income tax is apparent,[SUP][12][/SUP] perhaps not realizing that the SE tax is not imposed by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) at all, and that neither SE taxes nor FICA taxes are "income taxes" imposed under Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code.

You guys are nuts, and fail to have the ability to think for yourself. You are so obsessed with a candidate that the name simply cannot exist outside of the bounds of one of your posts. Can you not respect the rules posted and actually have something productive to contribute to the topic?HaHa , I know right.
Instead of hiring a team of advisors just get Ron Paul.
I'm going fucking crazy, man.

1: Play "Global Thermonuclear War"
2: Play chess if there is time before the impending apocalypse
In all seriousness I'd just sellout to the highest bidder because with the growing wealth gap and low social mobility in the country you have to take what opportunities present themselves. I wouldn't even rock the boat with drug laws to be honest. Two terms means twice the money. Oh and after my term(s) I'd get payed to give speeches and pimp my crappy books. I can see why people enter the intense personal scrutiny of politics, it's like a perverted lottery. If you don't get caught fucking hookers/staffers then you could strike it rich.

1. Round up the Rockefellors and Jail them as terrorists along with the Rothschildes, I would invite them all to a state dinner along with Soros and Brezinski and the Goldman sacks gang and then arrest them. NDAA might come in handy after all hehe. Arrest anyone who voted for the NDAA for treason.
2. Brreak up the media conglomerates into small small pieces with no corporate stock ownership allowed above 49 % to prevent this propaganda machinge from existing. Fair and balanced my ass!! Their all owned by banker and other big interests.
3. Arrest the Federal Reserve board for treason and have the new congress abolish the FED after they get voted in. Obviously many elections would have to be held as 95% of Congress would be in jail for treason.
4. With a noncorrupt congress, disband the military industrial complex and the prison industry complex.
5. End the war on drugs. End the FDA, DEA, NSA, CIA, DHS, TSA and many more. FBI can deal with all that shit.
6. Investigate the supreme court for corruption, after all where have they been the past ten to 15 years? Voting us into serfdom. HAve congress impeach most of them.
7. Disavow about 75% of the debt. IF it is banker derivatives related or military industrial complex related.
8. Stop all foreign aid. Stop arming state and municiipal police forces.
9. Restore states rights by having the new supreme court re afirm states rights.
10. HArd look at the pharma companies, I think they are developing a scary virus for us.
