WRONG! It's none of the little Brown Shirts in governments business how much any of us make. The passage of an "income tax" was the first major step to tyranny in this country. Property taxes are possibly even worse. YOU SLAVES OWN NOTHING! You merely rent your lives from the control freaks in charge. Sales taxes on new goods and tariffs on foreign goods should be the only way a legitimate government should be able to fund itself.
Nothing wrong with having a debate over a federal income tax or a national sales tax.
It’s too bad we can’t hit the federal government under RICO. Income taxes and property taxes are nothing but extortion.
I trust you'll forgive me if I disagree, having retired now. I'm living on twice-taxed funds from yesteryear. No matter how paid (FICA, 1040's, whatever), I've paid in. Done deal.
To go over to a national sales tax would reload us Boomers and Silent Generation retirees, while Gen Y and Gen Z pay much, much less w/o an income tax.
