Interesting proposal....but how would they treat income from dividends, etc.?

Did you request direct deposit of your refund?

> Hi Kat,

  I wish there was an across the board tax - everyone pay 5%, period. No
deductions. That would be $500 per ten thousand - and have it come directly
from paychecks - and do away with filing. This covers the people without
kids and those with grown kids the same as ones with kids - fair would be the
same % from everyone. The IRS lost my refund - imagine not having to ship
money back and forth.
