Well, ok, but how much can you take from someone making, say 25 to 40K a year to give the top 50% another tax break? Can you get enough to break even?
Well ok, how about removing 10 million or more illegals from the labor pool and creating a little price tension in the low wage earner’s job market?
Fact is, the rich pay too much in taxes but wages are lower now in real dollars than they have been for almost a century.
Low wage earners have a vote and should use it to improve the labor market by getting rid of illegals. It would help us all in the long run.
