I'm not proposing a flat-tax ideal, I hate all taxes whether they be progressive, regressive, flat or otherwise.

The price per taxpayer is irrelevant, it's the principle of the matter that's important.

Looking at all tax paying employees does not factor in the current income tax bracket scheme, there is no flat tax which applies to all those employed.

Throwing out a name along with your data, shows you have succumb to corporate propaganda, not that your data is accurate.

Assuming you taxable population estimate is accurate at 115M, and the loan is for ten years at an 8% compounded interest rate, the total amount would be approximately $1Billion.

approx. 3.4M people would pay at a 35% tax rate which is $350M or $103/person
approx. 11.5M people would pay at a 33% tax rate which is $330M or $29/person
approx. 40M people would pay at a 28% tax rate which is $280M or $7/person
approx. 34.5M people would pay at a 25% tax rate which is $250M or $7/person
approx. 17M people would pay at a 15% tax rate which is $150M or $8/person
approx. 8M people would pay at a 10% tax rate which is $100M or $12/person

Depending on who you are and what bracket you fall into you may not want to bail out a failing company so that someone else can buy a car from said company. Those figures do not include the other financial, auto, and insurance companies that were recipients of government loans.

Every tax payer is giving Tesla money, regardless of them purchasing a Model-S, http://news.slashdot.org/story/09/06/24/1947208/Tesla-Nabs-465M-Government-Loan-To-Build-Model-S. If someone chooses to purchase a Model-S the amount they had to pay in taxes for the government loan should be deducted from the price tag.

There's no such thing as dangerous, foreign, terror-funding oil. Only international, monopolistic, corporate oil.

This news is just fluff and misdirection. So what if they aren't going to use satellites to watch us. They can monitor us more easily, efficiently, and cost effectively with CCTV, red light cameras, and speeding cameras.

As long as the edits aren't being made by a government or corporate entity and/or their minions, it should be valid.
