If we didn’t have all these illegals sucking our blood, we could do this easily.

I dont believe we should have income taxes at all.

Should be a national retail sales tax, paid once at the final sale.

That would save BILLIONS in tax prep costs. Eliminate most of the IRS besides.

How would an employer know they have a medical problem?

Cheaper to buy them off with welfare. I'm not saying I support it, I'm merely observing that it's cheaper. A jobs program, especially one administered by lefties but I repeat myself, would cost the tax payer 100K$ per job that paid out 25K$.

HIGHER taxes to "create jobs" for the "long term unemployed." These D's are, honestly, the most stupid people on the planet.

If you are unemployed for a long time, perhaps you should either 1) set your sights a bit lower and take what's available to you or 2) retrain / retool yourself for new work.

Every construction company in North Idaho could immediately put ten more people to work. They simply cannot find people. Or, more correctly, hard working people who don’t quit after two weeks because the work is too hard.

How many people have been unemployed longer than six months with a 3.6 percent unemployment rate?

Back in the days of 'the old normal' it was considered the norm to spend 1 month job seeking for every $10,000 of total salary sought. So if you wanted $100,000 per year, expect on average 10 months looking etc.

Not only that, the tax receipts have increased (more taxpayers = more tax revenue with lower tax rates) - so they want less revenue in order to pay for a new program?
