These reports say they pay nothing. I say "bullshit". They are either paying personally or through their company straight up. And of course the aforementioned property, local, county, and state money being stolen...er, I mean taken....er, I mean taxed on them.
I think we should have a flat tax. 15% would do the trick.
If I make $100,000 I pay $15,000 in taxes. No tricks, no accountants.
If I make $1,000,000 I pay $150,000 in taxes.
I I make $50,000 I pay $7,500 in taxes.
Everybody contributes. The rich pay a LOT more obviously and get no more "services" (lol) from the govt (and probably a lot LESS since they don't leach off the public dole)
Nobody gets away with paying nothing. And revenue rises.
Of course you could tax everyone 100% of what they make and it still can't keep up with govt. spending. That shit has got to stop.
