No taxation problem

The argument that the rich don’t pay their fair share is ludicrous at best. America does not have a taxation problem. It has a spending problem. We have politicians that spend other people’s money and derive their power from how it is distributed.

Conservatives believe that if the rich are allowed to keep more of their money it will be spent or invested and that gives the rest of us access to our share. Liberals believe the government needs to confiscate it and redistribute it as they see fit.

If we truly wanted to see an economic boom, we would suspend all income taxes for a year and suspend any taxation for gains earned from monies invested in that year so the investors would be able to keep all gains. The result would be unbridled investment and massive economic gains.

Sadly, this will never happen because politicians wouldn’t be able to say government helped the poor. The truth is the poor would benefit from all the jobs that would be created. Of course, if you get your money free from government, you may lose out.

Democrats profit from spending taxpayers’ money to buy votes from invented victims.
