If we can't do our taxes ourselves, on a postcard, we are DOING IT WRONG!!!
I am sick and tired of our current system. We are paying about 25% income tax, while thousands, if not more, of people who make WAY MORE THAN ME are paying WAY LESS than 25%.
If we JUST did a flat income tax of 25%, our deficit would be over and we would have money to start Making America Great Again, by doing things like making our transportation infrastructure #1 on Our Earth, like it used to be.
You should be more upset that people making and working way less than you pay much less in taxes than you. Enough with this leftist myth that rich people don’t pay taxes. Many rich people receive most of their income from capital gains which is taxed at 15% (should be zero because it is money that is already taxes at top marginal rates,) but this has been twisted by politicians to convince stupid people that we need socialism.
