it’s not popular, but I am gonna say it.
NO ONE SHOULD NOT BE PAYING TAXES IF THEY ARE WORKING!
The “frees shyt crowd” will keep voting for more free shyt if you don’t make that free shty come with a price tag.
What about minimum wage workers? The dollar is down most of the time and min. wage is stagnant for years. There is not a penny to pay for taxes, beyond those they pay on necessities.
I think sales tax, paid by the working poor, is quite sufficient, myself.
In fact, things are so out of whack, one has to consider the cost of even going to work. Meals out, gas, perhaps grooming costs depending on where you could work and child care.
