Yeah, you clearly stated that, but you're full of shit. Since 50% of Americans pay no income taxes at all, and the top 1% pays more in taxes than the bottom 90%, how in the fuck do you figure this is even remotely true? I'm all for closing tax loopholes for businesses, but the idea that they were all created by Republicans is just fucking nonsense. |
The top 1% owns about 90+% of the wealth. While I am not saying it is fair to tax them more but when you have a society that barely any percentage of the population controls almost all the wealth what are you supposed to do? I've been reading the fair tax book by Neal Boortz (although I hate him and consider him to almost as bad as Rush, even though he claims to be libertarian) and it brings up an interesting way of taxing. Not biggest fan of putting 23% tax on everything like they want to (even non prepped food (from what I understand from reading it)), medical, and a few others). However, it would allow people to choose when to pay taxes (by spending, and getting refunded for the taxes on food up to poverty level or something like that) instead of having taxes withheld all year long.
