They’re paying 24% in taxes? Would they support the Fair Tax? They’d pay less.
I added up my own tax liabilities several years ago and came up with closer to 56%......
Really? Right now I also pay more than 50%. 24% actually sounds pretty good to me. Families in the 200k to 500k or 600k in earnings (i.e. many families in the urbanized northeast) are paying the freight for a lot of the country. The really rich can hide their income. But the HENRY's (High Earners - Not Rich Yet) are slammed by the AMT and property taxes.
