Trumpvoter here. Should we redefine what rich is? I feel like strangling obama when he refers to ppl making over 250k a year as "obscenely rich". Thats really not that much money for a well sized family. I dont think taxes on them should go up. If your making serious money, however, like what i call "fuck you money" aka 10 million a year +, then you really are making enough money for it to be reasonable for u to pay more taxes. Its not reasonable for the waltons to pay the same tax rate as a 250k'er. If youre making a billion a year, yeah, paying 50-60% tax is still going to leave you with a few hundred feet of yachts per year, which is alot. What do u guys think?

Flat tax is the only appropriate kind of tax. There is no point in continuing to raise taxes on the middle and upper class, but never stopping their abilities to create tax shelters. This only harms successful individuals and does nothing about Apple and Walmart keeping billions in off shore tax shelters.

There should either be an income tax or a sales tax, not both.

There should be a constitutional amendment to forbid property taxes. This is essentially "paying tribute to the kind"

You should also be able to opt out of social security and medicare taxes, on the agreement that you cannot receive any of their benefits while opted out.

The maximum that anyone can receive welfare should be 18 months within a 5 year period

Single mothers must be required to sue to the father before they can receive benefits. Too many couples don't marry just to take in benefits.

Tax income over 50k, the 1st 50k is tax free. A steady increase from 1-20% stopping at 500k.
This doesn't include state taxes.

People who arent appalled by the concept of property tax are bona-fide shit eating inferiors.
So.... Property tax....
So if i go to the country, buy a little land, and build a mansion with my own bloody hands, someone from the government COMES ALONG AND TELLS ME IM NOT ALLOWED TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE I BUILT WITH MY OWN KEK-FUCKING HANDS.
So, you were saying property tax is reasonable? Or even more to the point, you were saying property tax is RATIONAL? Pls explain why, i have a 140 iq but thats apparently not enough to understand....
Fucking government shit eaters.
"Omg trump supporters are crazy! Where do these crazy trump supporters come from?"
Think about cuck-fondling property tax, and you will figure out why ppl are angry.
Jesus fucking christ

Realistic way to fix America:
1. Socialize medicine
2. Flat tax with a generous deduction ($25k for single people, $50k for married couples)
3. Roll both sides of the payroll tax into the rate of the flat tax
4. Remove corporate income tax, replace it with a VAT
5. Privatize social security; essentially turn it into a government-matched 401k
6. Tax long-term capital gains at the same rate as income, with a lifetime deduction of $2,500,000 that is recalculated annually on the basis of inflation (e.g. if you make $500,000 in long term cap gains year 1, and inflation is 5%, your remaining allowance next year is $2,100,000)

the reality is that less than 1/20 ppl earn that much money and they're mostly 50+ professionals who have already raised their children. you cant be in touch with reality and say that 250k isnt a lot of money.

the average family makes 45k a year.

if you don't tax the majority, they will lobby government for ever larger transfer payments to themselves.

If you make less than $50k as a married couple with children, you already don't pay any income tax.

Now, payroll tax is a different story. But the rich don't pay that, so it balances out.

why do people campaign for a flat tax.

progressive taxes on the very rich (above 1 million) and tax breaks for people who make under 45k would stimulate the economy

a flat tax is essentially just a tax break for the rich. trickle down has been shown not to work at all

I also think corporations should not be legal persons, and advocate a removal of the corporate tax

furthermore, all income should be taxed the same. the rich are fucking people over with lt cap gains tax.

This is why we have bernie sanders. These people view government as a redistribution machine, not as a body-politic/corporation which provides public goods to everyone, at cost to everyone.

A flat tax doesn't have to be tax cut for the rich. You can tax everyone at a high rate. A flat tax is good only when a government is bound to it, so the poor majority cannot vote to take wealth from the rich without bearing a burden themselves.
