How long before 0bama institutes a poor tax?
The Poor Tax
All Muslims who live above the subsistence level must pay an annual poor tax, known as zakat. This is not charity, but rather an obligation owed by the Muslim to the poor of the community. The amount is calculated based on the wealth of the Muslim paying the tax, not their income. The base rate of taxation is 2.5 percent, but it varies depending on the type of wealth being assessed. Wealth includes savings, jewelry and land. Classic Islamic law details the tax, how it is assessed, its collection, and its distribution.[
Poor tax sounds like a good idea. However, the basis for it is ridiculous. I would also make it just a minimal income tax for everyone not based on net worth
