Organizations and pages concerning the inheritance tax or estate tax, often referenced by activists and politicians as the "death tax".
Organizations and pages which advocate a tax system where everyone pays the same percentage of their income, (except the poorest, all current proposals include tens of thousands of dollars in flat exemptions for everyone).If some 17% flat tax has a ten thousand dollar exemption for one person, for example, then a person with an income of $34,000 would pay taxes on $24,000: They'd pay $4080 per year. Someone with an income of a million would pay taxes on $999,000: They'd pay $169,830 per year.
Organizations and pages which advocate a national sales tax. This would be a tax on all sales of goods, much the local sales tax that some (but not all) states place on their citizens.These proposals almost always include a way of making it non-regressive: So that poor people won't have to pay on their basic life needs, either essentials like food and a portion of housing would be exempted, or every single person would get back thousands of dollars at the end of the year, which would be insignificant to the wealthy but for the poor people would make up for paying the tax all year.
Pages or organizations which advocate or defend taxes
