Let's start with the one's that pay nothing now.
‘Everyone [should] pay their fair share’
The ‘fair share’ is a subjective matter. I’ll let you know what I think is ‘fair’ by my work behavior.
The “poor” are doing pretty damn well if you ask me.
For instance, today I watched three young girls, all pregnant, all already had a child, none of them married, go in and get pedicures and manicures (guess who paid for lthose since none of them had jobs). Even one of them let their four year old get the same. BTW, they all had FREE government cell phones too.
Then I went to the grocery store and stood behind more pregnant unmarried “mothers” with carts running over with crap!
I decided I didn’t have time to wait because I had to get back to MY JOB in order to pay for all of their CRAP!
I don’t remember a time in the past where everywhere you looked there was worthless, lazy ass women who couldn’t seem to keep their legs crossed. It doesn’t seem to bother them in the least either that they don’t have a way to make a living other than producing more illegitimate kids with unknown sperm donors!
I remember when it used to be an embarrasment to have A CHILD out of wedlock. NO LONGER!
Let’s start by going back to sales and excise taxes as in our colonials days and never an income tax! Ever !
