If that’s the case, let’s abolish income tax and I dare you to come and get it! I got nothing else to say to the people with such little morality but with so much violence and malice.
In a civilized society, we don’t feed the evil. We eliminate them.
Ok there vigilante, you go get them.
Btw, income tax isn't going anywhere so this is all hypothetical
Some people are just plain greedy and too lazy to understand the fundamentals upon which are Country was founded. Your cousin should ask the wealthy whiners if they have ever read Thomas Paine. Bet they haven't even heard of Thomas Paine.
Just for example, take the case of a hard working entrepreneur who manages to pull off his very own rags to riches story. Good for him! Does he deserve all that extra money he earns? Sure he does! Should he pay higher taxes on his high income? You bet!
No man is an island. Our hypothetical entrepreneur benefits from one of the finest educational systems in the world. He learned his skills at publicly funded schools and colleges. If a working class person with big dreams had to pay private tuition to learn vital skills, it's much less likely that she'll pull that off. Same goes for the highly trained workforce that she needs to hire to run her electronic wizardry factory. Skilled workers trained in public schools and vo-tech programs are a wonderful resource for the companies who need employees with know-how. What about transporting those wizardry widgets from factory to market? Our entrepreneur benefits from the US tax payer funded Interstate system which extends to almost every town over a certain size in this country. If the widget factory had to pay to build its own private road system, its share holders would go through the roof. You can give many more examples, I'm sure.
The wealthy benefit from living in our democracy with all its benefits funded via our taxes. Why shouldn't those who have benefited the most pay a little more in taxes? That's only fair play.
Our country was founded on principles of theft? Obama, is that YOU?
The fact is the rich already pay the vast majority of taxes and people on the bottom get money back. In fact, 45% pay ZERO federal income taxes and that's not the top, I assure you.
My cousin works at a tax place and he tels me folks with big money seem to always be more bitter when they find out they have to pay more. Not aure what the proportion is. But is jt really crippling?
They already pay most of the taxes in America and their "bitterness" is justified.
EVERYONE should have to pay some tax so that they have a vested interest in the financial management of the nation. Even the poor should have to pay some tax, albeit a lower percentage and far lower gross amount.
Rich folks don’t go to a “tax place” to have their taxes done. They utilize CPA’s who specialize in legal tax shelters and loopholes in order to minimize their tax burden.

There was no income tax when the US was founded. A man kept what he earned. Thomas Paine never contemplated an income tax.
it takes a special kind of stupid to be ok with the government taking more of your hard earnings
