We are being told that 95% of Americans will get a tax cut. There are a few things wrong with this that I have found.
1) That promise has already been broken. They increased tobacco taxes. We all know it is not healthy to smoke, but 20 to 25% of this country does smoke. So already they have increased taxes on at least 20% of Americans, unless you are not American if you smoke.
2) Just the fairness of the statement. Why are we considering something that, in just the statement, promotes inequality. 95% is not 100% so I guess it is alright to discriminate against 5% of Americans. Why don't we make it a cool 100%.
3) 40% or better of Americans do not pay income taxes, they get a check from the government. So you can not lower taxes on someone who does not pay taxes. They call that a rebate.
4) I have not researched it but I wonder if the 95% tax cut includes the people in this country illegally.
I have read a bill that has been introduced into the House, HR25. That is the Fair Tax bill I believe it is fair and equitable for all Americans, cuts out the bureaucratic government, and forces illegal immigrants to pay their fair share.
