I think people have a legitimate right to minimise their tax obligations if they can, but they should pay their fair whack. I do think it's important to be transparent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Taxpayers should not be coerced into giving up their privacy rights just to file their taxes.
And it would be fair. Everyone will pay the same tax and it will eliminate tax cheaters and corporate shenanigans.
Nobody is opposed to paying taxes; governments need to coordinate, work together and simplify the law.
I think it's a little unfair for people to say you're not paying your fair share of taxes. I'm paying what I'm supposed to pay. Change the law, and I'll pay what I'm supposed to pay.
Taxes should be simple and fair... I'm not for increasing income taxes - if we even have an income tax.
I do believe in tax incentives in order to move the economy forward.
I think I have the right to know what Steve Forbes paid in taxes - I don't think there should be a law. I think there should be a presumption. I wouldn't vote for a guy who wouldn't reveal what he paid in taxes. That kind of thing.
Fairness dictates that the highest income people should pay the greatest share of taxes, and they do.
Most large companies structure their affairs so that they minimize their tax payments. As long as you do it within the law, it's OK.
To impose taxes when the public exigencies require them is an obligation of the most sacred character, especially with a free people.
