American taxpayers should be up in arms and madder than hell over the taxes they are paying every year. Our taxes are at 50 percent of our income per year. We must work until about May 15 (tax freedom day) each year just to pay our taxes. Most families must have two members working to make ends meet, one to pay the taxes and the other to put bread on the table.
The American tax system is undermining and destroying American family life. If we are to stop this erosion of our income and basic freedoms, we must fight for less government and for reform of the present income tax code. The United States and the individual states must reform their tax structures to make it more equitable for everyone. Today 40 percent of the people pay 90 percent of the taxes. In addition, everyone wants to be excluded from paying any taxes by gaining special exemptions at the expense of other taxpayers. This is social redistribution of wealth, and Un-American and unfair. The 99 Percenters are freeloading on the One Percenters! The One Percenters provide all the jobs for the freeloaders; why should they pay higher taxes?
The fairest way to redo the tax system is by making the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, the income tax, a flat tax. Everyone with an income would pay 1.5 percent of their gross income per year to the treasurer.
