Yeah, tax the single mom who makes $7.25 an hour, that will generate tons of revenue.
There's a reason 50% of people don't pay taxes, they can't afford it. A person making $2 million a year can afford to pay. The wealthy don't need more tax cuts, they're given everything in life on a silver platter anyway.
So the tea party wants to lower the taxes for themselves but not for the majority of Americans
Couldn't make your point without quoting the whole original sentence?
Backspace-
"We in the Tea Party complain that only a small number of Americans are taxed enough already, we pay more than our fair share while many (almost half) pay no income taxes at all."
The percentage that not only do not pay any taxes but get back more than what was temporarily taken from their paychecks is nothing short of welfare.

And the wealthy get it right back and then some. Drive through any exclusive neighborhood and notice the extra wide sidewalks and freshly paved streets. Look at the ulta-rich and their mansions on the coastline where my tax dollars are spent by the millions to pump sand back up on the beach to protect their property. Notice how the grass on county and state roads leading up to exclusive communites is always freshly cut compared to similar roads and highways leading to middle class America.......I'm sick and tired of subsidizing the wealthiest of Americans.
actually you could lower the rate of EVERYONE (and eliminate many of the loopholes) and you would bring more money in
the problem is 50% arent paying their fair share
EVERYONE(those earning) should be paying the same FAIR and EQUAL rate
unequal rates is DISCRIMINATION
if you are going to tax income (really a stupid idea) then a flat rate of 10-15% for ALL income from ALL , would bring in more money than what our current system brings in...but liberals dont want to give up the classwarfare
better yet would be a tax on spending..a consumption tax instead of an income tax (since a majority of income is NEVER REPORTED)
I'm inclined to support a consumption tax. But one concern I have is that our economy is largely based on consumption. Presumably, if you tax consumption you'll get less of it. So I'm wondering about the potential negative effect on the overall economy of the consumption tax.
