I just don't understand why we can't just go to a flat tax. 3 levels, 10% ,15% ,20% depending on income. Eliminate all the nonsense with these ridiculous tax codes that no one (even the IRS) truly understands. Impliment a NATIONAL sales tax and ELIMINATE state taxes. We all live in the same country, why should it cost me more to buy TV in Pennsylvania (6% state sales tax) then it does in Delaware (no sales tax)?
I mean, this is the problem. We are literally being taxed to death. Isn't that why we went to war with England to begin with? I don't know, I just don't get it I guess.
I have no problem paying my fair share of taxes, but when I look at my paycheck and see over 25% going to taxes alone (don't even get me started on healthcare) it's just really disheartening. I earned the money, not the government.
