How much are you all really going to save on a tax cut? A few thousand dollars maybe? I am tired of people complaining about taxes. The government needs money to operate. Paying $20 extra dollars per pay check will not kill you, but that alone could do wonders in curbing things like corruption and helping those in need.
People hate the thought of having more of their money disappear from their salary, I know, but its all to help the system in the long run. Right now we need more government regulation. All of our jobs depend on that system, we aren't working on farms or in the factories anymore. Everything is automated, and human labor is becoming less and less necessary with more efficient machines and computers available. A good portion of us are working behind desks on computers, and if the system collapses were screwed.
If we can trust our government officials enough (its tough) I don't see an issue with paying a little more per paycheck. We can plan for that at the beginning of the year, we can't plan for these higher gas prices and we can't plan for a mortgage crisis of this magnitude. Inflation is also a huge problem.
I think we need to start building back up our base of middle class workers and make American companies work for us again. Seriously, these companies are just too big and have too much freedom for us in the US to compete. Ill gladly give up more money for taxes if we can have some faith in what the future can bring and the amount of risk thats out there. And hell, if we can end this pointless war (why are we there again?) thats a huge surplus of money right there (not counting the debt of course).
