I disagree. His tax cuts for the rich, reducing or cutting funding for many important government agencies, gutting the ACA are just some things i can think of that are bad for this country.
The top 10% of earners pay for 75% of the country's taxes and you're in the 10% if you need to make $150,000. Shouldn't everyone pay the same percent of their income? That way how much you work is how much you get.
@Kavik So after doing some surface research it seems that although it is true that they pay most of the income tax, when we account for all sorts of taxes, local, state, federal, payroll, transaction etc, the distribution is more spread out. and the percentage is just barely progressive (meaning you pay slightly higher the more you make).
Additionally, I would say that no, we should not live in a country were everyone pays the same. A household that makes six figures is able to pay a higher tax percentage without significantly lowering their living standard. unlike people in the lower classes.
@Franky Acosta If you have a flat tax, it is simply a percentage that is the same across the board. We are currently on an income tax system which makes the rich pay a larger percentage of their income to taxes. This needs to be the same percentage throughout all incomes which actually would make the taxes for everyone go down if the percentage is low enough. This does not just benefit the upper class.
I agree, he's handling the Coronavirus well and not causing a panic, it could be much worse.
It is worse and if he took proper precautions it wouldn’t be as bad
Excuse me? He is handling the Coronavirus well? Not causing a panic? First off, yes it could be much worse, but still worse than basically any other democratic, left wing, or liberal political figure could. Second, he is not handling the Coronavirus well. He encouraged people to drink literal toxins, and disinfectants. Not causing a panic? Well, so far there have been COUNTLESS protests against the police who had killed George Floyd. In many states, voters are worried to go outside, and if you have seen the Wisconsin Primaries, you would see the panic due to Covid-19.
@Franky Acosta
But if i pay 5% of my taxes and say you, a millionaire earned a million a year and paid 5% wouldn't it be most fair that way? That way anybody can make a better quality of life for themselves and they paid their fair share just as everybody else. Also the rich could use all the money the gov't takes and give it to charities, it'd be a way of making sure the gov't doesn't get too much power by directing where your money goes yourself. Also spending bills, people will be more carefull and spend less money on useless things.
In an ideal world, yeah I would be happy with everyone pay the same percentage. But unfortunately we don't live in such a world. The world we live in is one where too many people live pay check t pay check, many times due to no fault of their own. Where the top 1% own a godly amount of money when compared to their fellow countrymen, and where systemic oppression, exploitation, political corruption, pass down wealth, lobbying, and many other systems make it so that the rich keep getting richer and the rest stay in the low to low middle class.
@Franky Acosta That is what a flat tax is and is what trump has been working towards because he knows the transition from income tax and flat tax is difficult for the government to handle.
@Franky Acosta Taxing the rich with a higher percentage actually oppresses both parties. Say the rich get even higher taxes, the money will be spent in gov't programs like welfare, food stamps, and of course the regular, military, salary for gov't workers, schools, etc. But I'm going to focus on the gov't helping out people economically. When the gov't hands checks to people, people lose the incentive to work, they lose self-responsibility, and they become tone deaf to what other people really need. When you take that away from people you're making sure they're stuck in that pit in their poor communities. There is also that if they do start working and making money, the "help" money will be taken away.
When someone is on gov't welfare what they need is dictated by the the gov't, especially they're healthcare, which means waiting lists and the God-forsaken amounts of paper work. It restricts the poor, ties and is unfair tothe middle class, and steals from the wealthy.
Trump has revoked the rights of millions. He is not a good president, he makes be ashamed to call myself American.
