Wife: Pro flat tax?

My wife and I were discussing the other day what the flax tax was. After I got done explaining to her what it was she gave her opinion on it.

(paraphrased dialogue)
Wife: "Yeah, I would like that method for taxation."

Me: "What?"

Wife: "Why not have something that goes across the board, everyone gets treated the same," she answered."

Me: "You do realize that the 'flat tax' is a Republican ideal and people who are considered wealthy would pay considerably less in taxes than they do now."

Wife: "Well, I would rather have everybody treated the same and make it simple."

Me: "You do realize that you that this makes you closer to becoming a Republican. Come, join the dark side."


Personally, I am more of a National Consumption Tax and get rid of income taxes all together. I found this interaction between us quite amusing. I have to commend her a lot because she does put up with a fair amount of my political rants. Part of the reason I created this forum was to channel my frustrated energy in another direction.

Hi, it's Ruth from jewish_gop.

Are you in the closet bc you're in the Bay Area? Because I have a conservative SF comm that I need more members in. Also I have a conservative_ca comm that also needs more members.

Take care! And thanks for being #94! We're honored!

Also, maybe you can help bring your DW (dear wife) to our side one day ;)
