    • about half the population doesn't pay ANY taxes. This was one of Obama's doings.. but there were plenty (40%?) who didn't pay taxes b4 he came to office


    that needs to stop. If you don't pay taxes, you really dont have much of a say in how taxes are spent and etc...


    everyone should have a say in how things are done... (democracy)

    I think all those who receive a check, including Congresspersons, from Govt.. should automatically get a 1% decrease and we can call that a tax. So even people on Disability would get this cut but it would not be much. No one would die of starvation w/ this kind of 1% cut and we would probably pay off the Debt.

    then there needs to be balanced budget and ways to insure that WE NEVER GET a HUGE DEBT LIKE THIS again

    I mean Get outa here!

    Non-government folks have to balance their household budget... Why is the Govt exempt from such logical and reasonable and NEEDED restraints???

    makes NO sense

    something odd going on...

    Not true.  Everyone pays sales tax, auto license fees, license plate fees, auto registration taxes, federal, state and local taxes on phones, cable, etc.  Other taxes which everyone pays (but doesn't realize it) are import taxes (which raises the cost of food, clothing, electronics - you name it), excise taxes, FDA regulatory taxes, ATF regulatory taxes, and all other "fees" which govt agencies charge businesses - from the FTC, to the AMA to the WHO.  Also, everyone who has a job pays social security and medicare which can be up to 12.5% of your pay.  They probably pay state and local income taxes, even if they don't pay federal.  TAXES ARE EVERYWHERE.

    sorry about that
    I meant FEDERAL taxes
