Maybe it is time to change the way we tax our people, the middle class vote, work, own small businesses, employ people, the rich get tax breaks, the poor get large tax returns, but the middle class is taxed the highest for graduating from high school, getting a college degree or more, and buying homes, but the rich get tax breaks, and the poor get the money, most poor don't vote, the rich and the middle class vote. The fair way is the "Buffet way", why tax the rich 15% and the middle class 28% to 32%. Why not tax at the same tax rate? If we did, we could lower the tax rate for all. For the poor and all, How about if we don't vote, we don't get tax dollars, how about if we drop out of high school we have to serve in the military and get a skill, how about if we are convicted of any crime we lose our welfare, how about if we are driving any car we have to show where the money came from legally? How about tightening the strings of all the rich tax breaks and all the entitlements to the poor that are driving this country into the economic toilet. Meanwhile the backs of the middle class are being broke, which cast the most votes. Maybe we just need to push back and look at this economic mess we are in and fix it! Let's not hurt the needy, but if we are allowing people to scam the departments and give the rich tax breaks, let's just fix it, I thought our elected officials are elected to best represent their constituents, who I believe are mostly the middle class, and these if these folks are being charge(taxed) the most for being responsible citizens, then this doesn't even make sense. So just fix it, it is only common sense.
