Filed taxes today and had a long discussion with my account, and son who is a economist. The 14.5 % and the flat tax promoted by many politicians is a wonderful deal for the Mitt Romney's and Bill Clintons of the world. But not so great a deal for Farmers and ranchers.. I would have got to pay 15% Of my gross farm income. My son 15% of his wages. No deductions for anything! regardless if I showed a loss or not 15% right off the top. Sure made me change my view point on that issue. :idea: :idea:
