Eugene, that is in theory
But look at Greece. People will cheat on their taxes and feel entitled NOT to pay. This 1% are very smart. That's how they got so rich. They won't give up that money voluntarily. Many have been hiding untaxed money around the world for generations. This will just continue and perhaps escalate.

Look at the Kennedy family. That clan of do-gooders has had their family money in trusts in Fiji and not paying a cent of inheritance taxes for 2 generations. They are NOT the only ones.

England has just increased their VAT to 20%. That is a sales tax that the average person pays. This is where this is all headed. The rich will have tax lawyers and schemes to hide their money and Joe Average will pay....

Amnesty by Executive Order?

According to NumbersUSA, rumors are swirling around Capitol Hill that the Obama administration may provide amnesty for the country's 11-18 million illegal aliens via executive order.

Sens. Grassley, (R-Iowa), Hatch (R-Utah), Vitter (R-La.), Bunning (R-Ky.), Chambliss (R-Ga.), Isakson (R-Ga.), Inhofe (R-Okla.), and Cochran (R-Miss.). addressed a letter to President Obama demanding that he address the rumors.

The senators worry that the White House is formulating a plan with DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide amnesty if Democrats are not able to secure enough votes for a "comprehensive" immigration plan in the Senate.
