Fair share? The rich pay most of the taxes now! Do you think the poor pay the most? The poor consume the most.
Be careful on who you call the rich. Look at the link below and the top 1% incomes aren’t that much or a lot lower than you think, a lot of us in TV make this in the stock market each year while playing softball.
We should have a flat tax that everybody pays, no adjustment if you’re poor or if you are rich.
And who determines who is poor and who is rich? According to stats, something like 70% of people in the country can’t afford to pay for a $1000 expense. Look at the stats for retirees, 70-80% have something like a few hundred thousand saved for retirement, which is sad. I know people throughout their careers making good money but spent most of it every month and now they have nothing for retirement.
We should not condemn those that worked hard, saved, maybe worked multiple jobs to save for retirement and then tax them unfavorably to pay for somebody that didn’t save or didn’t work much.
