I don’t know about everyone else, but I AM IN FAVOR OF A TAX INCREASE.

The 47% or so that are currently paying NO federal tax should be required to PAY something starting with the first dollar earned. I’m sick of people that have no skin in the game voting for people that will take from the producers and give it to the freeloaders.

The 47% or so that are currently paying NO federal tax should be required to PAY something . . .

I agree with you, but it will never happen. The dims would lose too many voters if they voted for that.

Although at first blush this sounds kookie, after reading your follow-up sentence, I firmly agree with you. Quit allowing so many people who have incomes to avoid paying any income tax at all; and quit subsidizing so many of them from the incomes of those of us who pay so much!
