umm, how about raise taxes on the rich to fund programs to get the poor decent jobs. Change the tax system so those who are under the poverty line do not have to pay taxes. Legalize all drugs and have them under government regulations.

 

my policies are not liked by most

 

lol

Well actually, and by "ghetto" i mean the gangster communities. The way i think about it is to build factories, raise taxes and stop all the charity programs, this way people would have to get a job at the factorize in order to get money for food and bills, this way making then "non-ghetto"

 

Umm since when did "ghetto" mean the gangster community. Most people who live in a ghetto aren't "gangster", they are below the poverty line. I have a few friends and family members who live in ghettos. Not to mention the way this thread is racial biased. Just my 50 cents.

I'm sure some of you have seen this, but I think it is worth repeating. This is an oversimplification of the tax laws and not 100% accurate, but it is close.

 

 

How Taxes Work . . .

 

This is a VERY simple way to understand the tax laws. Read on -- it does make you think!!

 

Let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner. The bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

 

The first four men — the poorest — would pay nothing; the fifth would pay $1, the sixth would pay $3, the seventh $7, the eighth $12, the ninth $18, and the tenth man — the richest — would pay $59.

 

That's what they decided to do. The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement — until one day, the owner threw them a curve (in tax language a tax cut).

 

"Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20." So now dinner for the ten only cost $80.00.

 

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still eat for free. But what about the other six — the paying customers? How could they divvy up the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his "fair share?"

 

The six men realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, Then the fifth man and the sixth man would end up being PAID to eat their meal. So the restaurant owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

 

And so the fifth man paid nothing, the sixth pitched in $2, the seventh paid $5, the eighth paid $9, the ninth paid $12, leaving the tenth man with a bill of $52 instead of his earlier $59. Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to eat for free.

 

But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man who pointed to the tenth. "But he got $7!"

 

"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man, "I only saved a dollar, too . . . It's unfair that he got seven times more than me!".

 

"That's true!" shouted the seventh man, "why should he get $7 back when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!"

 

"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"

 

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night he didn't show up for dinner, so the nine sat down and ate without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered, a little late what was very important. They were FIFTY-TWO DOLLARS short of paying the bill! Imagine that!

 

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college instructors, is how the tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up at the table anymore. There are lots of good restaurants in Monaco and the Caribbean.

 

Where would that leave the rest? Unfortunately, most taxing authorities anywhere cannot seem to grasp this rather straightforward logic!

Rap music in my eyes is just lazy singing.

P.S. That 'tax system' is more to do with right-wing politics. (Nationalism -- the rich get richer and the poor get poorer).

 

Uh.... the "tax system" fucks everyone.

 

Any money taken from citizens and put into government will be spent piss poorly, helping far fewer people than it would if it were left to us to spend as we see fit.

I'm all for a tax system that allows you to chose where the gov. can spend your taxes..

 

The list to chose from would go something like this..

 

Education

Welfare

Health Care

War

Space program

Excessive salary for politicians.

UFO Coverups.

Etc.
