Taxing income is a BS notion from the start. Taxation should be consumption based, and the FairTax model makes the most sense, without that silly front-end, low-income subsidy piece.
There’s no good reason to tax wage earners differently than wage payers. As a wage earner, you don’t have the ability to offset your income by the cost you incur to generate that income, as do businesses (concepts of gross and net profit, etc.).
If you work illegally (under the counter payments, for example) you are just gaming an unjust system.
Moving to a consumption based taxation model is more efficient (no IRS bureaucracy needed), too.
Please read my post #52.
Is there any reason why the federal government shouldn’t simply send out 50 tax bills ( one to each state)?
