| Superman4 said: I hope you are actually reading what is in the tax cuts and not listening to CNNs BS. Everyone gets a tax cut. Obviously anyone who actually undertsands how percentages and money works would realize that on a percentage basis the more you make the more you save when your percentage taken goes down. The percentage however is the same. Why should you get taxed at a higher percentage than someone else just because you make more? How is that a fair tax? 11% is 11% if you make 100,000 a year you pay 11,000 if you make 50,000 you pay 5,500. The person making 100K pays double what the person making 50K does but also makes double. Why should the person making double need to pay a higher percentage of tax? They are already paying more. What needs to happen is all welfair programs need to end, all illigals need to be deported, Medical insurance needs to go back to an individuals right to choose and a flat tax with no exemptions needs to be implimented. No more right offs for anyone. |
Why should very high incomes be taxed at a higher rate than very low incomes? How about the fact that basic survival takes money. Here is a very oversimplified, but logically sound, argument:
Let's say you spend five thousand dollars a year on food and make twenty thousand dollars a year. Not eating isn't really an option, so after spending money on "not dying" you have fifteen thousand dollars a year. But you pay taxes on twenty thousand. That's a large difference. The poor person can be considered to be burdened by the taxes they paid on money they had no choice but to spend on basic survival.
Now let's say you spend five thousand dollars a year on food and make two hundred thousand. You have one-ninety-five kay left after that, and get taxed on two hundred kay. A tiny difference, carrying a proportionally tiny burden.
So even if we lay aside arguments that high income people can afford a comparatively greater burden, it certainly makes no sense to saddle POORER people with a comparatively higher burden. Do you disagree with the argument I have made here that a completely flat tax would give them a greater burden?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
