Would you rather the government just do away with taxes and make it a free for all?

Question

I constantly hear people complaining that the government is going to raise taxes on lower/middle class, then I hear people complain that the government is going to raise taxes on large corporation because the corporations will just pass that tax onto consumers...so exactly what is your solution? Do away with taxes all together and have a free for all?

Answer 1

to taxes = no money

no money = no goverment

People complain too much = USA

Answer 2

10% from everybody everywhere, no exceptions, the rich still pay proportionately more but the same percentage as lower income. Trim the govt down to work on this amount of money,

Answer 3

Huckaby has a good plan.  A national sales tax and no income tax.  You only pay tax on what you spend and not what you make.

Answer 4

No, we have to have some revenue for things like national defense and infrastructure. However, there comes a time when more people are working for the government then any other employer. That was not what our founding fathers had intended. The government is continually over reaching and adding to it's coffers, at the same time increasing it's debt to unprecedented levels. We are looking for someone to step in and say no more new taxes.... Oh wait that didn't work out so well for the last guy....

Answer 5

No, I would rather government limit itself to its basic functions and eliminate waste, including corporate welfare and earmarks.

I would certainly not want government to raise tax rates for the sheer sake of "sticking it" to people who earned more than others, even when doing so actually could REDUCE tax revenue.

It's disingenuous for them to build bridges to nowhere and fund tens of millions of dollars of studies on the effects of cow flatulence on global warming to turn around and cry that they don't get enough of our money.

Answer 6

In a perfect world the as s- ******** I take at tax time would stop.But let's at least be realistic.We are screwed.
