re: No taxes for those making under $150K is a stupid idea. Quit picking winners and losers

Such a stupid take. Stuff like this works by not taxing the first $150K earned. Some amount less if single. That’s a GREAT start. Who wouldn’t be for this? We need an aptitude test to be granted posting rights here.

Freakonomics - Top 10 Tax Myths
Taxes need to go up and spending slashed to get the deficit and debt under control.
Taxes need to go up on everyone, even grandma and the poors.

The roads in this country are almost universally trash. Same goes for schools and most other things our taxes are paying for.
We're getting ripped off.
Oh, and way back, my opinion on this is I don't like it but I would prefer a flat tax so that everyone pays.

There isn't exactly a shortage of fiscally irresponsible ideas that would stimulate the economy. This is just another dumb idea.

Good luck, sov cit. I'm sure your magic words will work this time.

Wait, did you really link a tax strategy from a group of people with these bios? Seriously?

Well, first, I don't have a daily commute.
Second, it's 2025. If only there was some way to pay tolls without even slowing down.

Listen to the episode, moron.
The math is the math. You can keep skysreaming but the ONLY solution is to both raise taxes AND drastically slash spending.
Keep burying your head in the sand and prtending that Orange Jesus will save you.
Newsflash: he won't and is only going to make the problems worse with his braindead populism.

False equivalency and not the same as the current situation.
Your "solution" is not a solution or plan. It's childish and not realistic.
But go ahead and stop paying taxes -- hopefully the Feds give you life without at ADX Florence for being a retarded sov cit.

That sounds great, but actually I would prefer if there were maybe a 10% flat income tax. That way everyone would have skin in the game especially the over 50% that pay no income taxes currently.
I don't think you understand how the "50% that pay no income taxes currently" think. Let me enlighten you. They are retarded. They are literally on the same level of brain function as those with down syndrome. You will never get them to comprehend "having skin in the game". it will take generations to get them out of their stagnant cycles of life. I don't know how to do it but I know that expecting them to suddenly take pride in their contributions to society and to aspire to do better is not realistic.

Yes, I do understand and I agree with every other word you posted. But you gotta do something. Making the other half pay would at least be fair.

We need a plan to eliminate income tax and property tax federal, state and local. Consumption taxes on individuals only. And that at a low rate federally because of tariffs.
