47 % of Americans pay no tax. Just a matter of time until it’s 51%, ever voting themselves more benefits (entitlements). Bodes ill for the nation.
Life support then removed...
The republic will end when people realize they can vote themselves money. -- Ben Franklin
Everyone that works and has an income should pay some amount of tax. They need to pay their fair share to take care of this country. The Fair Tax could take care of this but this administration wouldn’t get rid of the other taxes. I have heard it said that even if they put in a Flat Tax on everyones income, of only 10%, the government would have more money than they could spend. I’m sure they would find a way to spend it though.
Fixed it. They still pay other State and Federal taxes. But, yeah...I hate when people vote to raise other people's taxes.
And that is one reason why the taxation issue is a loser for conservatives. The issues we win on are defense and liberty along with the fact that the government has gotten too big and intrusive. It's about more than just our money now. It's about the money that our children and grandchildren will have to pay.
That will be the downfall of this country.
It makes me sick with worry, and sad and angry. Very, very angry.
No income tax, maybe. Then there are property taxes, excise taxes, fuel taxes, phone taxes, cell phone taxes, sales taxes, etc...lots of 'hidden' taxes, well above and beyond what happens on April 15th. Everything you buy, you will pay part of the FICA costs the employer bears--which are passed on to the consumer.
The hits just keep on coming.
