Agreed. But that is not the case here.
Individual citizens are not losing any rights. Regardless, I'm against all this nonsense. The constitutionally and morally correct fix is to just not have non-tax organizations at all.
Tax policy should be as wide and as objective as possible.
I've never understood why anybody on our side of the aisle thinks it is good that some folks are sheltered from taxes. That is progressive thinking.
Progressively bad. It's brought us to a point of half the individuals not paying any net fed income tax, more and more questionably beneficial organizations avoiding tax, etc.
Friend, foe, rich, poor, good, bad or ugly. We should want them ALL paying taxes. Otherwise, we will never get spending down. Because people who don't pay don't care. People who pay do care about tax rates.
We all seem to agree that the preachers should be freed to politic from the pulpit.
I also want them angry about tax rates when they are unleashed.
Wonder what your thoughts are on the poll tax.
How about property tests?
We’re not taking people’s rights away.
We’re just going to charge them a small fee for exercising them. :)
Many millions more people doesn't mean that congress will decide "Oh, we have more cash on hand, let's reduce spending." No, they'll increase spending, because they have more cash on hand.
Say you have a good job (not decent, good), and you get a generous bonus/a larger than expected refund the next year; would you pocket/invest 100% of it, or would you spend at minimum 5% of it?
That's what congress would do with more cash. They would spend it all like drug addicts.
