I would much rather see one payment per year. I like Oct 15.
People (who pay taxes) wouldn’t be too quick to vote for someone who makes them write a $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 check. People would be delinquent, end up in tax prison. We would see a lot of changes.
It sickens me to see the average pay of government workers at $91,000 per year and the rest of America average at under $60,000.00.
Because there is no pain in paying our taxes we just don’t seem to care. Once we start spending our money and then start having to come up with the taxes it will change rapidly.
I like the story my Dad tells of his days in the Marine Corps.
On payday, all of the Marines would line up to get paid.
At the first table, they would be given their pay in cash.
At the second table, they had to give back what they owed in taxes.
Many pissed off Jarheads at the end of the line.
