What %?? Try ZERO
Those 47% (and every other citizen as well) should be put up to the very same % on every dollar earned.... but funny thing is I bet you would see more lefties calling for a tax 'cut' then
Yeah, well, name the conservative/Republican politicians who are running on that idea, i.e., raising taxes on the 47% who pay zero.
Give me a nice representative list of them.
There are many more starting to embrace the flat tax with no exceptions.. unfortunately ones who have proposed a 'flat tax' system, such as Spector, still try and buy votes by having a floor that people can duck under.. .Sen Burgess proposes a flat tax system every year, and every year it is shot down.. candidate Toomey supports a simplified flat tax system... there are SOME out there.. unfortunately, not enough of them... many are too afraid to run on a platform of true equality and still want to pander to the people who want others to pay their share for them
The trap you/we/us/them/ are in is that you'll never get the votes to raise taxes on the lower half of the economic scale in this country, so almost all federal income tax revenue is going to have to come from the upper half.
