The well-to-do are paying enough. But in the spirit of fairness everyone with any income should pay taxes. Those who receive unemployment compensation or any of the government programs which provide cash to the low income. should pay some taxes - at least 5%. If that free money was taxed plus reduce expenditures, things would look different.
The Unemployment Compensation my Wife receives is counted as Taxable Income. It ends on December 31st, so at least we won’t have to pay the higher 2013 Obama Tax Rates on it.
My Wife ended up being a 26 Weeker, not a 99 Weeker. Just found out that the Federal Extension is over in CA for 400,000 people, my Wife being one of them. Haven’t heard much about that in the news, wonder why? I’m sure the story will break so the Republicans will be blamed for not spending more money, that we don’t have, like Obama wants.
Welfare, EBT Food Stamps, Subsidized Section 8 Housing Grants and Medical Coverage are not Taxable.
Perhaps they should be, but it will never happen.
