over 50% of the people have no idea what an income tax is in this country, is that fair? Have some skin in the game , so when an Idiot politican talks about a tax hike, he IS talking to you.
I'd add to that most Americans have no idea just how much of our income we pay in taxes. It isn't just what is withheld, but extra taxes like property tax, sales tax, excise taxes, fuel taxes, utility taxes, water taxes, cell phone taxes, etc. The last time I did an experiment to see just how much I actually pay in taxes, it was well over half of my pay, and I was definitely at the bottom of the income ladder at that time.
The left continues to feed to people the lie that somehow, Americans pay very little in tax compared to the rest of the world, and that somehow, "if taxes were higher, just like they are in Europe," things would be better.
The surest path to reducing taxes in this country is to abolish the practice of withholding. Force everyone to cut quarterly tax checks to all the various governments which impose tax.
“over 50% of the people have no idea what an income tax is in this country, is that fair?”
That’s the 50% that should be paying it all!!!
They’re the ones sucking their existance from the government!
