No paying taxes, no vote.

I agree with the idea of everybody paying in.

You would have to abolish the 24th amendment to the US constitution before you could do that.

A National Sales Tax of 4%.

Why should my vote be the same as yours when I pay $1,000,000 and you pay $20?

What’s your fair to the society?

America has to put that viewpoint aside. We have to focus on uniting ourselves and doing what is best for the Anerica people as a whole.

I'd prefer a federal income tax, absolutely flat, same single % for both people and corps, taxed all as individuals just as we vote that way, taxed from dollar one. taxed on net income of corps.

No deductions. no exemptions.

No other federal taxes of any kind.

I would make it that one must pay taxes 5 straight years to vote.

I like your flat tax idea but with ONE caveat... Any increase will also increase the other... 3% increase will be 23% and 33%, no exceptions, all income from all sources, and of course get rid of payroll taxes....

I also think we need a constitutional amendment banning tax increases w/o first permanently shifting all active fed employees to 401ks, not pensions, and ending their retiree insurance, transferring them to Medicare.

What?

Why should some people leech off the others? That’s slavery. How do you justify this?

It's very difficult to not pay any taxes. Sales tax, property tax, tax on gasoline or alcohol or tobacco, Trump tariffs etc. I guess pretty much everybody pays some of those taxes.

well, i see Churches and Charities, etc. opposing this.
they Enjoy the tax deductible contributions.
if the FEDERAL (not state) income tax
was FLAT, it would remove that.

current: Uncle Sam gets it or you give it to us.
flat rate: would please, pretty please, pay us?
