I agree that we, as Americans, should be willing to pay the costs of maintaining our nation’s health, safety, and stability. However, the Congress best get busy eliminating tax shelters and loopholes for wealthy corporations and individuals, of which there are an obscene abundance. And, no, I’m not referring to people making $250K/year as “wealthy”, for any reactionaries in the peanut gallery….
I’m perfectly willing to pay taxes on my entire income when corporations and the rich begin to do the same. Hell, at this point, I’d be happy if companies like Exxon and GE would pay corporate income tax on SOME of their profits.[/quote]
True but can we also at least raise taxes on the poor? Dammit what Jesus doesn’t realize is that it’s the Meek who are the problem.
My sister has never really made much scratch, I used to do her taxes for her. I swear with EIC and everything else she was actually taking monies out of the system. Of course I don’t begrudge her that money, but that has to be a massive strain on the budget.
