I think it's funny how they talk about income tax when republicans tend to be not as educated and live in poorer states
And America effectively has a flat tax
The group that pays the lowest taxes as a percent of income is the Top 400 earners. They pay even less than those in poverty
Conservatism will bring this country down, because these stubborn patriots believe progress is liberal
Yeah it's easier for people with more money to pay less in income tax, because they have other ways to manage their money
Tax advantaged accounts
A lot of Americans live check to check
Yeah it’s just that I know so many conservatives who say “Well it’s really the poor who aren’t paying their fair share”
So the logical thing to say to that is raise income taxes on lower and middle class to help the broader consensus afford basic things
But they're not ready for that, they have opposing interests
damn
thanks for sharing
If we're honest, a lot middle America's money just goes to paying the bills, not much else they're spending it on, they save whatever little they can
Yeah
It's tough
Not because the logic isn't there, but because people stick to what's comfortable
the bottom 40% contribute less than 10% of the overall tax income
the top 10% pay nearly 80%
Did you read what I said
-Whois @BarronVon
bernie paid 12%
Nicholas sandman
So what's your point

damn
Still good though
Poor dude
Life is fucked

he deserves a bit more imo
Damn yeah that’s nice
Yeah I agree he deserves way more
Hi Alex
@BarronVon you just said a bunch of things but didn't make a point
@pompompiggy hello
the rich pay their fair share and pay a high % of their income in taxes
