U.S. Rich Pay More Taxes Than Any Other NationPosted By Patrick Keafer |
Dave,
The problem is not that the rich don't pay enough, it is that too many people pay almost nothing. It would probably be political suicide, but we really should have a minimum 1% tax on people who are employed and we should phase out the mortgage deduction.
Now before I get attacked for being a lib tax raiser or a heartless paleo con, I happen to think a generally low tax environment is ideal, but everyone should pay a little more to help pay down our debt that we accrued. We spent it and now we own it.
