But I’ll humor you… in a situation like you describe is where another Republican idea should come into play. Standard tax rate, no more brackets.
Yes, the poor will pay more, but arent they not the biggest beneficiary of government programs? If you take more from the kettle, you should throw more (% wise) in. They’ll still be ahead of the game.
Or those who just barely make more than a qualifying amount. Well, thats where the American Dream comes in. Get to work an hour earlier, make a bit more, work harder, get noticed and get a promotion. If you can argue that logic then there is no helping you (not you, but you understood).
It’s not fair to those who made something of theirselves to give more of a % of their hard work than those who did not. Everyone has the capability, it’s just those who have the will to make it happen.
lol @ your rich, suburban ass talking about the American dream. and lol @ “raise the taxes on the poor”. If they’re depending on govt handouts, what makes you think they can afford to pay higher taxes.
