This is how you lower taxes on the middle class and myself is to put those 47 % able to work off the government rolls quit subsidizing their food,bills and housing. They hand out mental disabilities like candy these bureaucrats !
Go ahead and vote for Obama's Hope & Change which actually is Locks and Chains.... a Forward holding cell...while they re-distribute your wealth.
How does that not make sense? Everybody should pay in, even if just a little.
Governor Brownback in Kansas had/has a plan (not sure of its status) to get more Kansans paying into the state income tax. It's actually genius, in my opinion. Under Brownback's plan taxpayers making less than $25K per year would go from leeching $2 million more than they ever pay in via refundable tax credits, to actually CONTRIBUTING $80 million in taxes as a group! At what price? A mere average of $156 per year increase. In my opinion, that price is well worth it for a group that is leeching (even if no fault of their own) to contributing proudly and doing their part, even if it is small. THIS is the sort of plan that needs to be put into effect in Washington DC. Of course, the local naysayers screamed when the plan was presented about taxing the poor. God forbid they contribute.
See this thread for Romney's version for the federal level:
To expand on what I've already said, I'd like to add that - per the chart in the following link - if the bottom 40% of tax filers (about 63 million of them) paid a mere average of $150 each, per year, into the federal income-tax system, they would be contributing just under $1 trillion in taxes. That's huge.
Looking at the chart (from the 2011 tax year), you'll also see many filers in the upper 60% are not paying into the federal income tax, either, and that needs to be corrected. Our country CAN stop running a defecit AND pay off the debt.
Obama is already running on him doing that. Well that and the great job he has done with the economy.
Then it sounds like they are both running on the same platform of raising taxes. I guess you'd rather have them raised by a Republican than a Dem.
It must suck trying to defend these guys. Why don't you just vote for Ron Paul, and then you won't have to spend your days scratching your head trying to find ways to support Mitt or Obama without looking like a fool?
TEA party wants people to pay their fair share in income taxes, not zero, and not 30%.
