47% who don’t pay taxes will pay the original way. All others pay flat tax.
RE: 47% who don’t pay taxes will pay the original way. All others pay flat tax
Which means we’re back to 47% of wage earners NOT having a stake in the government and NOT caring if the other half’s taxes are raised.
Class envy continues with Perry’s tax plan.
I don’t know, with a family of four getting $50,000 in personal exemptions alone, there could be an increase in that 47% not paying anything.
That's right. The main advantage of the flat tax is that everyone pays something--well, except the ones who don't. But with the flat tax, there would be fewer loopholes that allow companies like GE to pay no taxes. And the sales tax, as abhorrent as it is, would at least capture taxes from those who don't file, such as illegal aliens, mobsters, hookers, drug dealers, etc.
That horse is already out of the barn.
That 47% won’t vote for anyone who threatens to make them pay any federal income taxes. Why would they?
