Do away with current tax system and go with a flat rate and no exemptions and no refunds.

[CardinalBacker]

No, a progressive tax like we have is more "fair." but nobody ever envisioned a 37% upper tax rate for the IRS.

 

If they want to fix something, make it illegal for guys like Jeff Bezos to be paid in stock instead of a salary, then allowed to borrow against that stock tax-free.  That's the real scam.  We don't tax those securities as income because you don't actually make any money until the security is sold.  BUT, Mr. Bezos can borrow against those securities (and live off of the proceeds of the loan) and that "loan" is tax free.  That's how so many of the really, really wealthy get around paying any personal income tax and it should be stopped.

They should also stop giving people money they didn't even earn as a "refund."  Earned Income Credit is bad joke.

This.  I taught in beaumont for 15 years at the head start, where students only qualified if they were low socioeconomic.  It wasn't uncommon for parents there to get $10K+ tax returns when they either didn't work at all, or worked some menial part-time job for minimum wage.  It drove me crazy.

Any of our folks on the left see this as a problem?

Not just this new hire, all of it.
