America's issue is its multilayer tax system. I think if we did a 10% state, 10% federal, we'd be in a lot better shape. This of course requires the government to reign in spending so it's a pipe dream.
How the fuck can corrupt assholes like Obama send $300-500 billion in unmarked bills to Iran in the middle of the night if he's not confiscating a significant portion of the US economy?
Of course we need to raise taxes to provide for the common defense. That could be raised from import taxes. Sales taxes. The government should have NO CLUE what your income is and NO INTEREST in it either.
Well if you decide to open a business in California and be taxed to death, that was your mistake.
It would lead to a change in the political atmosphere. Most Dem controlled states won't be able to function if businesses decide to move out. Only thing left to blame would be the state and the idiots who run it.
You're right, taxes are a necessary evil. We all need to pitch in for the things that make this country great. The issue is that working people have been shouldering the majority of the burden for too long. Another problem is that a lot of our money is being wasted on crap that doesn't help us. Billions of taxpayer dollars go to foreign governments and politicians' "pet projects". Suspending the payroll tax will provide workers some relief in these tough times and force congress to FINALLY balance the budget by cutting unnecessary spending and eliminating loopholes for the rich and well connected.
I live in the People's Republic of Illinois so any chance I get to screech about taxes I screech loud and proud. I pray that a day will come when we can all come together to make real reforms and compromises. In the mean time I'll take any tax break I can get. This is just a band-aid on top of an infected gangrenous wound.
Tariffs, customs, excise taxes, etc. That’s what we did before the 16th Amendment was ratified to authorize theft by the government, anyway. And maybe the government can finally learn how to get rid of waste and live within its means.
That’s exactly right. So they stop living above their means and budget the money they have. As government was meant to be. Not a super spy, nanny state, police state, or welfare state. A government that rules over each of the United States. States makes more of the decisions for their people. If you live in a shitty state, you can move to a new one.
If we collect only tariffs, it will be enough to maintain our military? You mentioned only income tax. What about property tax, sales tax, and I’m pretty sire there’s a multitude of other taxes I haven’t even heard about.
Don’t be an idiot. 1) You don’t have to personally build the freeway- your community can collectively hire an independent company 2) the government is fucking horrible at getting bids and doing construction work because they’re corrupt. You asked a question and I answered it.
FUCK TAXES!
And my butthole!
You're VERY dedicated to this troll account.
I have a feeling you're actually Obama and just can't help but let us know how much your love dicks in your orifices.
And...cough my bow?
Any my cock

It also Means you can’t use tax cuts and punishments to cajole people and pander to voters. So it will never happen.

Will we ever see a refund for that money that was illegally sent to a terrorist regime?
Nope.
Of course not. Metric fucktons of it went into the pockets of terror groups. That money is GONE.
With America's current atmosphere I don't think a tax free government is realistic. In an ideal country I agree there should be practically 0 taxes.
Of course we need to raise taxes to provide for the common defense. That could be raised from import taxes. Sales taxes. The government should have NO CLUE what your income is and NO INTEREST in it either.
Or we roll back the 16th and 17th amendment and let each state figure it out.
Creates a less even field for businesses to have varying taxes state to state.
Well if you decide to open a business in California and be taxed to death, that was your mistake.

I say give a shot. Let the market decide.
We don’t have a tax problem we have a spending problem. End government takeovers of industry & entitlements and welfare
Citizens shouldn’t pay federal taxes at all. Their money should go to the state they live in.
I’m just gonna anonymously mail mine in like a ballot...or maybe not but if anyone asks, I did
It was lost in the mail.
Honest question, if we abolish all forms of taxation, how will we pay for military, government, public infrastructure like schools and roadways?

There you go. That's a more reasonable take.

We can dream, anyway.
So, we tax foreign imports? Not sure if that's enough to cover all our bills

Before the income tax, the federal government was run off tariffs collected. They should try that model again.
If we collect only tariffs, it will be enough to maintain our military? You mentioned only income tax. What about property tax, sales tax, and I’m pretty sire there’s a multitude of other taxes I haven’t even heard about.
The same way you mow your lawns, or water your plants, or patch your driveway. Do it ourself or pay a private company to do it.
Communities have been functioning for thousands of years this way. In fact it’s infinitely cheaper and more efficient than government work.
Hold up, let me study freeway construction. Get real.
Don’t be an idiot. 1) You don’t have to personally build the freeway- your community can collectively hire an independent company 2) the government is fucking horrible at getting bids and doing construction work because they’re corrupt. You asked a question and I answered it.
