Damn tootin’ we have a COLLECTION problem TOO!
We have ~47% whom don’t pay, of which, the bottom ~5% who get $$ ‘back’ they never earned (EITC/etc.).
It also doesn’t count on those whom work under the table or those whom have retired, etc. (IE: Those that still utilize services, but pay $0).
Yes, we have a spending problem too, but it’s disingenuous to say it’s NOT a 2-way street.

I have yet to hear what each candidate thinks is the TOP rate they think ANYONE should pay, and why.
I’d LOVE to hear what how much of MY life the Fed. govt owns. Unfort., I don’t suspect to ear the question even asked.
Crus thinks the top rate should be 10%.
