Everybody should pay something.
This Business of People riding for free is way out of control.
Time to just go to a Flat Tax percentage for Everyone.
Same Percentage for Everyone when you spend money.
That would make everything Fair across the board!
Read The Creature From Jeykel Island and you will know why we have an income tax and why we don’t need it at all period.
“Everybody should pay something.”
I’ve heard it said that only about 50% of wage earners pay federal taxes, but I’m not so sure... I can only judge by my own experience:
My family consists of 2 had just over 23,000 in income last year but we paid about 650 in federal taxes. So although we are pretty low on the income ladder we paid. Makes me wonder who exactly is NOT paying federal taxes, beside the unemployed, I mean.
And fed taxes are not all the taxes we pay by a long shot. I sat down last year and tallied up all the money that went straight to the government in one form or another, and it came to 35% of our gross yearly income. Government truly is a fat leech on the back of every working american. It’s killing us for sure.
