The lowest tax bracket only contributes a small marginable % of tax revenue compared to the middle and uppers so if the lowest tax bracket contributes only a marginal % of tax revenue, why try and place even more of a burden on them? Personally, I think the income tax should just be done away with. It was only supposed to be temporary, and when it was originally conceived it was a fraction of what it is now % wise. This country needs to have MASSIVE, MASSIVE spending cuts. It’s GOVERNMENT GONE WILD here in the US. The bullshit programs and bureauracies we fund and the pork barrel spending has gone completly unchecked. Our military spending is OUTRAGEOUS. The federal government needs to be gutted and rebuilt from the bottom up. It might take 10 years or more to do it, but it HAS to be done. We’re pissing away so much taxpayer money its ridiculous. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rendell-ftl/187860)._
