Tax rates triple?

Since half the people in this country pay zero taxes, and zero times three still equals zero, how would that all work?

Everyone would have to pay some level of tax. That’s all there is to it. Collecting it is another matter. It is my firm belief that if we had a resonable government, put a hold on all spending, got rid of all the crooks in Congress and the White House, the American would pay the taxes. IF...if it would help this country. But everyone has to chip in to get it done. The way we are going now, our government will destroy this country.

The other half pay six times.

The other half could pay 95% and half pay nothing. That might work. lol.

Take all the money from the people who do pay.
They probably got it through White Priviledge anyway.

It will need to be redistributed to be fair.
