the not so poor
I think the majority of these people get paid under the table and this is what they declare, not what they actually earn. People live together without getting married, claim both are head of household, boo hoo about being single parents, etc, all the while, living with their "baby daddy". This also includes the illegals getting paid under the table. Its disgusting!
The only fair way is to totally eliminate income taxes and replace it with sales taxes. That way, the guy that buys the Rolls Royce pays more and the guy that buys the scooter pays less - according to their means. People here on vacation pay, as well as foreign students living here while in college.
The poor would not suffer, because if you can't afford expensive stuff, you don't buy it and you don't pay taxes on it.
