All we hear from the left is have the rich pay more. Give more . GIMME Why cant the poor pay something. Even if its 120 dollars a year .. YOu cant say a person cant afford 10 dollars a month .. I am sure they are wasting more then that on other things like fast food, cigarettes, booze. How many times I have been behind someone paying with food stamps and have beer and cigs they are about to buy as well. But, if that wasnt bad enough they dont pay they get EIC as well so the rich people are paying them for nothing.

Forget all these notions of who should have to pay such and such taxes. It's irrelevant. Only thing that matters is that we need tax code that is EFFECTIVE.

The government should be requiring everybody to pay the same tax rate on income. Poor, middle class, rich, parents, single people, home owners, renters, and people who give to charity.

The government should not be in the business of subsidizing the act of rasing kids, paying off a home, or starting a business.

Lovebear is the perfect example of how different republicans and conservatives are in 2012.


No conservative would push for more people to be taxed or higher taxes.
 
Because that is what your representative government set up.

No one rich or poor, high income earner or minimun wage earner, pay tax on the first 19,000 this year.

EIC? The max a single person can gain from the system is 464 dollars.

No...what Lovebear is saying is that all should be treated equal in America.

She is not asking for higher taxes and she is not saying more people should be taxed. She is simply questioning why some have to pay and some dont.
 
What needs to be done is to have a total income tax and get rid of sales taxes. The poor are paying more of their income, not only the poor but the middle class, for the basics than the rich. Eliminate sales tax and institute a standard income tax without exceptions and tax everything, income, investments, all of it. It will never happen though.

The Congress can talk all they want but when they get down to writing a tax code the people who give them money to keep them in office will pressure them into making exceptions for this and that. As long as special interests have that power over the legislature nothing will happen.

Probably a lot of them get deducted federal taxes throughout the year and the Fed government earns interest on the money they're "holding" before the eventual return.
