Quote from nutmeg:
I'm fine with that.
btw, how much more. a dime?
as i said. retarded view. a thinker might come to the conclusion that if everyone did that the country would collapse and nobody would have the ability to make anything.
to give you a thought exersize consider this. you and your neighbor have a similar house. you find out that he pays no property tax but you have a large tax bill. would you say good for him?

It's not about sympathy for the poor.
It's about all these fat, lazy, mouthy bastards who stand around waiting for their monthly government handout every month.
Guess who pays that money to them???
I'd prefer they put their smartphone down, pick their fat asses up and get a j-o-b.

and those at the low end contribute the greatest share of their income. therein lies the problem.
According to the IRS, approx 45% of wage earners pay no Fed income tax. In fact a good many get money in the form of the EITC, making them net gainers.
I agree with BSAM. A flat consumption based tax, and NO deductions. None. That would give people an incentive to save.

so you think people without a job will make up for the huge revenue loss if you give the rich even more of a break? what world do you live in?
i am all for makework as a part of unemployment but lets get real here. those people are never going to have excess income to make up the revenue lost if what you propose came about.
