I’m not sure the average democrat realizes that if a millionaire paid the same percentage as everyone else, that he would still pay greater sum than everyone who makes less than he does. I think the prime enemy of this republic isn’t abject poverty. It’s abject ignorance.
It's legal.
What does a man’s income, assets or consumption, have IN ANY WAY to do with his obligation to pay for government services?
Taxes should be a flat AMOUNT per citizen to support a microscopically small and limited government shell of very basic functions.
absolutely! However my version has merit. You can tell the rich by the cars they drive, the clothing they wear and where they hang out.
The welfare recipient is sometimes much harder to identify because they also drive the rich mans car, wear his clothing, and have the same toys he does.
I can totally believe it too.
I agree 100%!!
Well said.
