How many will pay no federal income taxes in the next administration?

Under either John McCain or Barack Obama, millions of Americans will wind up paying no federal income taxes. According to the Tax Foundation,
tax liabilities will drop to……

Is there a US government do-over button that someone is sitting on? Please check. I’ve already looked under my ass.

What is the FairTax?

The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including:

- A progressive national retail sales tax.
- A prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level.
- Dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality.
- Repeal of the 16th Amendment through companion legislation

Note: The above is clipped from the website. I’ve no time to read the entire thread, because I’m, well, working to pay my “October Surprise” of self-employment taxes. (Ya, I took the extension to Oct 15) I already pay 40%(!) of every dollar I make right back to the IRS. For the math challenged among us, I only get to keep 60 cents of every dollar I make. That sux!

Exactly, great point! But, they abused welfare way to long with no regards to their own people. And, if there wasn’t programs like that. You are right. Have tons of kids. Some that don’t have kids shouldn’t have to pay for them in taxes. Thank you for the great points. This is how we should communicate. So many excellent points on here. HotAir is the best!

But, sales taxes are for your state/local gov’t.

True. I prefer the original system as devised by our Founders (and subsequently screwed up by later politicians)…

Senators were there to represent their states… not people in their states. Why? Because originally, the Federal Government could not levy taxes directly on people in a state. That was a state right. (And one stupid amendment later…)

You see… when Senators voted on a budget, that budget was divvied up among the states (based on population)… and they received a bill!

That’s right. Senators couldn’t pass taxes as they wished… because the state they represented would have to pay that out of their budget.

Going from memory, I believe the Federal Government could only raise funds via import/export levies.

Of course, when the only Constitutional expenses are military, military bases, post offices, administrative offices and roads to those locations… you don’t need much to run a government.

The Founders put our politicians to shame…

Screwed as a country yeah, but it’s not particularly the remaining minority of taxpayers who are screwed. Read Atlas Shrugged. When those remaining few get tired of supporting the looters, and simply stop, there’s nothing the looters can do about it. Slowly, producers/investors will remove their productive capacity from the economy. That’s what Ed is warning about.

Adam Smith’s invisible hand works in both directions. I don’t think the libs realize that.

Yep. If Obama wins, I plan on earning NO money in 2009 so I can reap all this free stuff.

Plus, throw in a huge credit pyramid scheme and I am doing just fine.

With Obama, I won’t need to work anymore.

No income by the rich, no tax revenue. High captial gains taxes, no business investment with money moved to other countries, etc. Huge deficits dwarfing anything we have ever seen along with the national debt sharply going up as a % of GDP. Throw in a new conflict overseas needing the military to respond. Russia WILL annex Ukraine without a fight next year of 2010 BEFORE there is a chance to get them in NATO.

An Obama presidency is simply Bush 3 on steroids.

If Sarah runs against an incumbent Obama in 2012, she can hammer him as Bush 3.

Again if there were no food stamps, no wic etc would anyone care how many kids a couple has? the fac tthat the governments gives these checks makes this country a country of busy bodies. Get rid of the welfare programs and freedom and common sense comes back. When big daddy isn’t there people must think and act for themselves. Most of our problems can be traced back to this problem. Therefore if you disallow those that get benifits from voting most of these problems would go away.

A truly fair system would be a VAT, fixed percentage by the federal government, whereby only sales of goods were taxed and fixed percentages went to the state and local municipality in which the purchase originated.

Bravo. I agree.

Well it really wasn’t until the women got the vote that welfare started. not a knock on women but they are more compassionate than men. Therefore if you want to do away with welfare you might want to think about getting rid of the women vote.

As I woman I do NOT take offense at that bcs I think you may have something there. Women tend to do things more spontaneously & emotionally than men.
Like it or not ladies, we know it’s not just PMS!
Most women I know are stupid, emotionally inept creatures who do not think past themselves.
I realize many men are the same. I just seem to notice it more in my own sex.
That must make me a self-hating sexist pig?

Well, if you don’t want to pay those, take it up with your own state then.

What Obama is porposing concerns the federal income tax part, he wants to tax ‘the rich’ for more to spread the wealth and rightly being called out as ‘income distribution’ scam.

To think, in economic downtime, more people trust Obama/Dems to fix the problem for them!

Your post is good, a lot of great points. Why should childless people and people that did their job and have adult kids? We shouldn’t have to pay for schools! I am glad I am not the only one that feels that way.

Hmmm, Didn’t think of that….. I feel that some people that keep popping out children should be penalized. Especially if their income cannot support all those kids. Also, there are a lot of people that have no right go have children. They have kids because they can. Not because they want children. Also, there are to many illegals taking welfare, food stamps and wick programs that do not deserve it. And Medical too.

Long story short: badly deformed arms. He can use a computer – slowly – and that’s it.

Yes women maybe 50/50 but men’s views on welfare is more like 85/15.
