I'm talking about federal income taxes and the problem is that too many people don't pay federal income tax. I think that everyone should have skin in the game, both federal, state, and local.Pawpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959820068377494313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-27708563280713032322012-10-01T16:14:29.966-05:002012-10-01T16:14:29.966-05:00While I agree with this in principal, I think it i...While I agree with this in principal, I think it is in effect for many people in the way of sales taxes. Now, I agree again that it would hurt more to write out a check at the end of the year or to not get back the full amount of taxes paid in I think that it would create so much squealing that we never will see this. This tells me that it should be enacted, perhaps with the caveat of removing sales taxes and having those added to the end of the year taxes. (Or even just doing that, no more sales taxes collected.) I can't imagine any politician floating this idea for more than five seconds however..Jesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973419641321027031noreply@blogger.com
