If we tax the under-ground economy, can you imagine how low the tax rates would be. I would bet most people know someone making money and not claiming it on their taxes, people who live really well and you wonder how. They travel, buy expensive cars, jewlery, get plastic surgery, eat at expensive restaurants, buy expensive cloths, have plasma TV's, etc, etc, and they don't seem to work 9 to 5.  |
I'm sorry but it's short sighted. I NEED to subsidize some people in my life. Why? because an EDUCATED person is a better contributor to society than someone on Welfare.
I don't have any kids, but my taxes go to fund public schools. I went to private school at a great expense to my parents, and they also paid taxes which went to public schools.
I don't use as much toilet paper, food, clothes, etc. Those things are consumed. A family would be paying more than me because of that, thus they have a higher percentage of money going to taxes than I would could afford it but don't want to pay it.
And if I get my way, I will be one of those people who don't work 9-5 and you'll wonder where I get my money from because you won't know that I invested in stocks, bonds, real estate and I just go to the mailbox in my fuzzy slippers to collect my money. It doesn't mean that it's illegal.
