Do you really believe that all of those non payers are penniless, homeless, etc or simply deadbeats? so if the rich are not paying their fair share, and the evidence suggest they are the prime contributors to our tax system, what then do you say about those dead beats?

And , are more taxes warranted? Ask yourself what really should be the goal of our tax system?

In a household its not only the income you earn that determines your financial stability but how wisely you use the income earned.

So the first order of business is that government show some monetary responsibility in the use of our tax dollars.

Far too many legal loopholes exist in our present system, and there is not an American or American corporation among us who hasn't made use of a tax credit, deduction etc. And this in itself flies in the face of those claims for others to their fair share of taxes. Because the truth is no one wants to pay taxes to the government but we all do under the threat of penalty.

The objective of a tax system should be efficient and sufficient. A better and simpler tax system can be had. However it won't because politicians do not have the stamina and will to accomplish such a task nor to deal effectively and intelligently with either our social security or medicare/medicaid systems .

Tax the rich more is a ploy by the political left to escape notice and to continue to divide this nation. So its serves no useful purpose. Politicians goals are to have a direct link to your wallets and what they view as free money. When it comes to politicians my belief is its government v. we the people
