First almost all taxes in th US are progressive-the more you make the more you pay. It is not like if you earn $1000 the tax is 5% so you pay $50. If, you earn twice as much and the tax is now 8% you pay $2000 x.08= $160-MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MUCH.
RE: social security
I was self employed. Few people realize OR CARE, that your employer pays as much for your social security as you do-it is TAX FREE INCOME paid to you. Social security runs 7% UNLESS YOU ARE SELF EMPLOYED-I paid 13%.
I just went on medicare. I pay TWICE the minimum for the same coverage AND I DO NOT GET THE INFLATION PROTECTION.
We all want no one wants to pay.
FAIR TAX? A fair tax is any tax where you pay less then others.
BASIC ECONOMICS-if you tax anything you will have less of it. If, you subsidize anything you will have more of it.
We, tax income, we are one of only two or three countries that tax interest on savings and we subsidize people who do not work. See where it has gotten us?
