Let’s say we want a flat rate tax'system to replace the taxes that now support the state’s General Fund, which pays for just about all state functions except roads. In 1999, the state’s General Fund was sup ported by almost $12 billion collected through the state in come, sales, inheritance and gift and assorted other taxes. Allowing an $8,000 per person, or $32,000 per family of four, household deduction, I’ve cal culated a 9 percent flat rate could produce the $12 billion. So we could end the state in dividual and corporate income tax, the state sales and use tax, and the state inheritance and Zeddie Twine of New York, Willie Twine, Gregory Twine of Elizabeth City, NC, Minister Tony Twine of Marietta, GA, Bruce’Twine of Edenton, Barry Twine of Newport News, VA and Lloyd Twine, Jr. of Chesa peake, VA; four sisters, Evan gelist Ellie Roberts of Norfolk, VA, Marry Perry of Hertford, NC, Minister Camez Hunter of Suffolk, VA and Ida Hall of Edenton; 36 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren.

Should we say full steam ahead? " Well, as with any tax idea, there are supporters and de tractors, and the flat tax is no exception. Supporters like the flat tax for its simplicity and for its removal of the tax system from individual and business deci sion-making. That is, with -no special deductions, exemp tions, or credits for specific kinds of spending, the flat tax system has a much-reduced influence over how we spend our money. Detractors say this hands-off approach of the flat tax is actu ally one of its disadvantages. With a flat tax, there would be no special deductions for ROBERT C.

Dear Editor: Graduating from college is an achievement that all who attempt should be recognized. I recently graduated from ECU and made the Chancellor's List, yet my name was not men tioned in the paper along with the rest of the students who live in Chowan County. The reason behind this is I live in Chowan County but I have a Gates County address. For the past four years my name has been left out from the honor roll lists. I am not complaining for myself but for those who have gone before homeowners who finance the purchase of their house, for households that make chari table contributions, or for fami lies with relatively large medi cal and child care expenses. Detractors of the flat tax also say there should be different tax rates for lower- and higher income households.
