How about equal taxes?
I'm all for equal taxes. I wouldn't mind a flat tax. But liberals (not saying you, Joe) scream about it raising taxes on the poor. Well I know some of the "Poor" they talk about. There are people at my friend's job that make about 20k a year with a few kids. They get back 10k on their taxes from EIC, because they aren't married and the bf isn't on the lease, she gets $500 a month in section 8 housing credits, and a whole slew of other tax benefits. When you add up those breaks, she makes more than my friend (the manager). I think it's bullshit.
Everyone pays 15% or 20% and be done with it. If you make 20k, 15%, if you make 10 million, 15%. Whatever the rate, everyone pays it (and I mean really pays it).
I'm down with that and really down with the flat tax.
I'm not sure if I am a liberal or not. I think I'm just sensible.
