Seriously, people? -_-

You're saying the poor don't pay taxes?
-
I'm quoting something I heard on tv when my grandpa was flipping stations
-
what is the point you are trying to make?
-
That there are idiots out there who shouldn't be trying to put laws into place forcing people to pay very high taxes
-
On whom?

When I read the title and subtitle, I immediately got what this was about
Britt, I suggest going back to read it if you still don't. -
"It's not the rich who don't pay their taxes, it's the poor.
"Most of them own a refridgerator and a tv, so they should be able to pay their taxes."
Just because someone has a fridge and a tv doesn't automatically mean they can afford so many high taxes goddamnit. Hell I own both
we can BARELY afford the 12% tax on EVERYTHING -.-' -
Thanky you for criticizing my lack of comprehension.
i'm still trying to figure this ut. -
Number of rooms in a house I think is a better way to judge that.

tongue AdvancedOf course the poor don't pay their taxes. They make so little money that it wouldn't make sense for them to pay what everyone else pays. Usually you are required to pay taxes if you're poor, but usually a poor person will end up paying little to nothing because of cost of living write-offs.
That's actually a really important point, that last sentence. No one actually pays the rate they're supposed to because of write-offs. Not the poor, not the middle class, not the rich. Especially the rich. Alot of millionaires and billionaires usually don't pay alot in income taxes because they make their money buying and selling stocks, so they only have to pay capital gains tax on those stocks (I think that's how it works, I'm not entirely sure.) These people are less than 1% of the population, but they make up a large chunk of the total income of our nation. Don't you think they should be paying more than just a small chunk of the money they made selling their stocks? (It is a really small chunk, something like 3%). -
i agree with tongue..

Of course they aren't paying their taxes. They're POOR. They don't have the money to do that. Of course the rich can pay it, they're RICH.
But seriously, whoever's in charge of running the taxes should understand how percentages and ratios work. Say someone makes $7 an hour and another makes $20, while someone else makes $100 (because they're that rich). $3 is a lot to the $7 person, a little bit to the $20 person, and virtually nothing to the $100 person. 3% however is only a tiny bit to all three people, although the actual amount of money goes up($.21, $.60, $3 if I'm doing math correctly).
I don't know who the heck makes $100 an hour, but it's there for an example.
IT'S CALLED MATH. USE IT, PEOPLE. -
tongue AdvancedAnyone making $250,000 or more isn't making it by working for wages. The wage slaves of the world take it on the chin from their bosses, then take it on the chin some more on tax day. The middle class pays for everything and gets nothing.

Well, I live under a rock. So I wouldn't know that.
