I said at least $100,000. Like I point out, only 6% of Americans earn more than $150,000 however. I know money influences a lot of things, including the tax system. However, I’m most concerned about protecting those (85% of Americans) who make less than $100,000 per year. I don’t think the discussion should end there though, but that is the most crucial group of individuals in my opinion to make sure something happens to not increase the burden on them.
That’s one of my points. People don’t get convicted for a felony and then go “crap, that means I can’t vote.” It’s only after, when people are back in society that they consider voting.
I agree that it’s an issue for the states to deal with.
Sex offenders are a tough one, and I would largely agree that fixing them is more difficult.
On a side note — I took banjo lessons as a kid (4 years) and “Cripple Creek” was one of the first songs that I learned and memorized. Seeing your screen name brought back memories. It’s been a long time, my wife has only seen me play twice.
I disagree completely. This is a tax on the poor and less wealthy, even if there is a “probate.”
It would add a sales tax to things that aren’t currently placed under a sales tax such as rent, utilities, child care, etc. As someone that has no tax liability and is a full time graduate student, this would add to my tax burden.
