Too long have we left the mechanism of the necessary evil of financing our government to the selfish whims of special- interest groups who control the very people elected to oversee the system. The flat-tax is based upon the principal that we would all pay according to our ability to earn in come. Is there one among us who would not be willing to pay a percentage of our income, if we knew the system was fairly administered? 1 see no reason why each per son. corporate body (foreign or domestic) or any other income earning business should object to a definite and fixed tax-rate in order to do business. It would en courage all wage earners to truly seek “ free enterprise” . If we were to set an example in the state of Oregon, to fix such a rate, I believe the rest of the country would follow suit. The inherent greed accompanying such an effort would be quick to try to allow loop-holes in which to avoid the basic premise; therefore, a strict adherance to policy would be the first and foremost hurdle. It is the opinion of many analyists knowledgeable in such matters, that our economy would flourish given a federal tax rate of eight percent of the GNP. Could not the state of Oregon operate on another two percent of the gross income of our people? If we were all to pay 10 percent o f our gross income (no exclusions-not even the student who makes $1,000 in a summer), would it not be a simple matter to understand and implement the liability we share as tax-payers? Is it not time for Oregonians to make such a move before the career politicians shove “ Slick W illy's” value-added tax down our collective throats? I will never, I repeat never, vote for a sales tax, whether its the ninth time or the 99th time, (s) Loren “ Bud” Seibert Dallas We Print A» people v a ry , to do«» individuol ■wtiant lo»», mointenoiK» ano resulti.
