I dont agree with only 50% of the people paying taxes....we all need to share. Possibly a 2% national sales tax?
We need something, because there are way more people in the cart, than there are pulling the cart.
“I dont agree with only 50% of the people paying taxes....we all need to share. Possibly a 2% national sales tax?”
Yes, I agree, but not about simply adding on a national sales tax. If I remember correctly, the income tax began at something like 1%, right? And we see what happened after that.
IMO, the 0% bracket is one way to negate some of the democrat demagoguery in the general election and get Trump elected. I would argue the bottom bracket could then be raised to 4%, as I heard that 4% is the effective tax rate that most people in the under 50,000 income range now pay. I believe it is imperative that all Americans have at least some “skin in the game”, or they will just forever vote for more “give away free stuff” politicians.
