If they’re depending on govt handouts, what makes you think they can afford to pay higher taxes. last time I checked, I’m not rich. I’m well off, but not rich. I worked hard to be where I am at my age. I got a loooong ways to go still. Although the government likes to tax me like I’m rich though rofl. I still work 40-45 hours a week just like the majority of America. But I’m not talking about raising the taxes on the poor, I’m talking about a standard tax rate, thats middle ground for all… unfortunately it’s going to have to go up for some brackets, may as well do it from the less contributing ones since their hand is already in the pot taking.
