Our Troubling Tax System
The U.S. tax code gets more complex every year. It violates civil liberties and, left unchanged, will leave the United States at a powerful competitive disadvantage in years to come. Chris Edwards, Director of Tax Policy Studies, Senior Fellow Daniel J. Mitchell and Director of Information Policy Studies Jim Harper dissect the troubling aspects of our tax system.

I still think this is the best country in the World, we take for granted the fact that we dont pay nearly as much as the europeans do in taxes.
High Taxes , …
High Taxes , Taxation without representation, overlapping multiple taxes, our Founding Fathers would be disgusted the road that our corput politicians have taken us. We need to get back to our root’s ,small government and low taxes. Send these politicians a message and vote them out, replace them with poeple who really care about this great country.Were in need of some really smart independent minded politicians from all parties who can just say no to big government and high taxes! Great video!

What kind of …
What kind of freedom is that which requires free people to legally pay for anothers dreams, schemes, wants, desires, pleasures, wealth building, failures bailouts & other legal mischief when I cannot force my neighbor to pay for my dreams, schemes…?
HOW CAN THERE BE LAW OR COURTS OF LAW THAT PERMITS LEGAL STEALING & LEGAL SLAVERY?
ITS TIME TO BAND TOGETHER AND TELL THE LEGAL THIEVES WHOS IN CHARGE.

I believe the gov’t should tax us on what we SPEND not on what we EARN. The income tax was suppose to be temporary to fund the war…
I don’t understand …
I don’t understand where radicals get the idea that Police, Firemen, EMT’s, Soldiers, Teachers, Federal Employees, or anyone should work for free?
Taxes aren’t going away, so just deal with it.
For a kid, you do a …
For a kid, you do a good job .
But what you don’t know is that ALL tax plans are huge piles of bullshit that try to distort the picture, so that certain groups get huge advantages.
A lot of adults are fooled by slick use of statistics. No — the overwhelmign majority of tax es are NOT pay by top half.
Those figures are distorted widly, because much income is not even reflected in it.
There are three types of lies – small lies, big lies, and statistics.
Yeah, top half (as …
Yeah, top half (as I said), pay the overwheling majority. the solution however, is just simplify tax to, for example, 10% of all money you receive. (with say $10,000 free for the poor).
You want a simple …
You want a simple tax code — fine. Tax all income the same,
However the you tax ordinary income — work, self employed — tax all income that way.
You can have a simple tax code pretty easily.
These bastards are the one that complicated the tax code — now they want to screw workers over even more, by “fixing” the mess they caused.
DOn’t believe CATO, Newt, Fairtax, Steve FORBES, Neil Boortz, or Fairtax. Pure bullshit.
When my kids were …
When my kids were little — I let them cut candy bar in half to share. One kid cuts it — the other picks which half they get. Amazingly even cuts that way.
What unearned income folks have done, is distort and confuse the out of the public.
Give workers the deal CATO wants to give the idle rich — and make the idle rich pay what CATO had planned for the workers.
The idle rich would scream bloody murder.
Tax all income the same – quit this bullshit deception.
Who the told …
Who the told you the richest pay 95% — don’t believe that. Its misleading
Technically, the top half might pay 95% of the income tax, Im not sure.
But work is taxed 300% higher than unearned income — two people both making 100K, the one that worked their off for it, could pay 45K in taxes.
The guy who got 100K from unearnd might pay ZERO or 5K.
So statistics are alwys used to lie about taxes.
Tax all income types the same.
Even though the …
Even though the richest half of the population pay over 95% of taxes, through incoem taxes alone. So yeah, only the poor worker would suffer, the rich would be unaffected. They’re against the bailouts, which are the things that allow the rich to keep getting richer.
Cato wants ONLY …
Cato wants ONLY workers to pay taxes dumb – no one else. ONLY those who actuallly work pays taxes with CATO s plan.
Investors, cap gains, leverage buy outs, nake shorts, all that great — no tax at all — if Cato had its way.
Cato wants ALL taxes on workers dumb fuck. They wont say it that way — they just eliminate taxes on everyone BUT workers — so thats how it works out.

don’t believe a …
don’t believe a word CATO tells you — they exist to make loopholes for the rich.
Their wet dream, their hard on, is to have ONLY workers pay taxes. I kid you not.
Behind all CATO double talk, their basic plan is to have NO taxes for capital, and ONLY tax labor.
They claim capital is “risk” and therefore should not be taxed. Muther — we who work risk all the time, ever roof a house mother fucker?
Capital is risk? Mother fucker, did you see the bail out?
Fuck the IRS.

I made 82k last year and paid less than 3k in taxes.

What flat tax — CATO institute are liars. They aren’t for a flat tax. Flat my ass. Flat as Dolly Parton’s 44EEE boobs
Flat as Dog the Bounty’’s hunters wife 54JJJ boobs.
CATO calls their Flat — but its fuching bullshit,. THey are hiding the fact they want ZERO tax on cap gains dividends, ect.
CATO group would in their pants if they had to pay taxes like work has to pay. They already screw the workers — now they want the worker to pay 100% of the taxes
It’s fact that …
It’s fact that necessities such as food, clothing shelter are a greater portion of a $30k income than they are of a $300k income.
