Being An American ! Taxes !

Grover Norquist, the single handed creator of the no new tax policy signed by every new republican into congress(1988-2020), has ruined this country. Like Obama was mis-quoted as saying, you didn't build it, it was already there supplied by the government for you to exploit, use and abuse, then expect not to replace it or help build it back for others. The feeling this country owes you something, and that you don't owe anything back is disgusting and unamerican. Corporations are unamerican, they are mini monoplies designed to extract resources and wealth while never replacing it, or paying a fair price for what they are abusing.

I'm curious what Americans think are fair taxes, based on incomes.
I know the republicans out number democrats in upset NY 9 to 1, so most opinions here will be Republican opinions.

Income for a single worker, age 20-30, no kids unmarried.
keeping it simple, not involving multiple married, with kids options...

single earner income: $15,000

Single $30,000

single $55,000 - NYS average salary

single $75,000

single $100,000

single $200,000

single $500,000

single $1,000,000

Ill post my opinion and encourage others to keep it simple

$15k, no tax.... $30k - $3k, $55k- $4k, $75k - $8k

$100k - $12k, $200k - 30k, $500k - $150, 1M$ - $325k

don't need to talk per-centages, it confuses people, the majority of people don't know how tax tables work and only hear numbers like %25 0r %39 and think its a simple calculation, when its not applied as you would believe it is applied.

If you're confused by percentages, you shouldn't be part of a discussion on tax rates. If you're an adult, earning money and responsible for your own personal economy and you're confused by percentages or numbers in general for that matter. You should probably go to school and take some simple math courses.

EVERYBODY knows that the enlightened and highly intelligent people are liberals.

Conservatives are cave dwellers.

Just ask a liberal, they will tell you
I am a fan of the flat tax. Paid flat tax in PA for state tax when I lived there and it is simple and equitable. Agree on the rate and apply it to any active or passive income. Progressive tax simply penalizes people who earn more and at its core is a redistribution of wealth. With flat tax people who earn more pay more but in an equitable fashion. However it does put a lot of accountants and financial advisors out of work since there are no loopholes.

its to encourage earning more, maybe volunteer for overtime, or work a second job.... or can just assume its a typo and misunderstanding of percents.

im married, white male. i believe in a man in the clouds, i believe this man impregnated a 12 year old virgin to birth his son, i believe he died and came back to life, then went to heaven to unlock the doors of heaven and let all free of sin in. I believe men need to tell women what to do with their bodies, i believe we need to force our beliefs into our government, i believe to men and two women can never be married, i believe my invisible god is better than everyone elses invisible god, when we read the same book. I believe governments shouldnt get in my way of operating my business, i believe if a man will work for $2 an hour, he earns his pay and makes an honest living, i believe its ok to lie about profits and not pay taxes, believe its ok to cheat on my wife, i am such a great person and we the majority of upset NY deserve a place where we can talk about cheating on our wives for the best price and the safest way to do so. i enjoy using my religion to force others to think like i do, as long as you aren't brown, then back to the cities for you. I enjoy the benefits of a democracy but never give back, i only take and use what i want, i idolize wealth im too stupid to obtain, im jealous of those who have more than i do.

I love the GOP and all you stand for, where do I sign up ?
The ones screaming the loudest are the ones who pay nothing. Everyone who works for the government (politicians) pay zero taxes Taxpayers in the private sector pay their taxes
