Oh my, yet another pronouncement from the left that is immediately proved to be self contradictory.
For starters, negative tax rates, the whole “credit” game should be eliminated. The freeloading deadbeats that make up the base of the democrat party should be paying THEIR fair share.
The first 20K/year of income (or some number like that) should not be taxed at all. After that, everyone should pay the same income tax rate up to infinity. My guess is the rate would bounce around from 15-25% depending on the politics of the day). The people who make more money will necessarily be paying more taxes. The people who make less, will necessarily be paying less taxes. But, everyone would be paying the same rate and therefore everyone would be contributing equally. It’s so freakin easy.
