Taxes are way too complicated, and people spend way too much time worrying about ways to get them lower.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The problem is government spends too much. So raising taxes is what politicians do, instead of reducing spending.
Taxes should be simple and fair... I'm not for increasing income taxes - if we even have an income tax.
There's no reason to raise taxes. Taxes should be lower... The problem we have is that government spends too much, not that taxes are too low.
Cutting taxes for very high income people an average of more than $100,000 a year for people that make more than a million dollars a year is not an effective way to get the economy going.
It's not hard to cut taxes.
Everyone wants the rich to pay more in taxes.
It's fundamentally unfair to have so much of the tax relief go to so few. And it is a 10-year tax plan rather than one, as mine, focused on the next two years, which in my opinion is the critical time to jumpstart the economy.
The important thing about tax reform is you make the tax code less complicated, easier for people to understand.
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
Taxes are just too high - that's obviously a priority.
