I would like to see all witholding eliminated. Send everyone a monthly bill. Then we will never have to fight to get the average citizen riled up about high taxes again. Can you imagine the size of the monthly bill? It would be as much as rent in some places.

I read an article the other day (can't remember where), a study that showed that the best guess was 40% of income in the country goes to taxes of all kinds. Of course alot of "taxes" are hidden as "fees" so it is probably higher. We threw tea in the harbor for alot less than that. We Americans need to grow a spine and use it against ALL politicians.

No kidding. It's more than my mortgage, including the property taxes.

AI always thought that taxes should be due on Tuesday after the first Monday in November, but I like your idea twelve times as much.

That would be sweet. It would also accomlish something else, over-spending by the government as a significant percentage of people would not pay.

I tell people all the time...that if they are making around $24 an hour....they are paying in over $6 a hour to state and federal coffers.

Many say,..."Well I got money back last year!!"

LOL!!
