Liberal Forum

It's high time that All Americans pay their fair share to live in this country with freedoms intact. So, I propose taxing every adult person residing here (citizen, non-citizen, etc) who has been eligible to pay taxes, but hasn't paid any income tax for over 2 years.  The tax should be a set at a minimum of $1,000 per individual.  Everyone must be invested in this country, and that means NON-TAX PAYERS NEED TO START PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE.

The GOP is always trying to raise the people’s taxes.

As it should on all PEOPLE RESIDING IN THIS COUNTRY WHO NEVER PAY TAXES.  What's the matter?  Do you oppose everyone paying their fair share of taxes?

No. But they should not be allowed to vote.

Define fair share?

is it fair to take away a thousand dollars from a family of four struggling to survive and feed their kids? While billionaires have loopholes to evade their taxes and paying their share.

Not voting is not enough. Make them pay - they need to be invested.  If they refuse to pay, take their right to vote away and their right to receive any entitlement payments of any kind.

I just did - people who don't pay any taxes need to pay a minimum of $1,000/year.  Every adult needs to pay a minimum tax of $1,000/year.

Thanks.  It's an uphill battle, I know.  Especially when Democrats are throwing gobs of money to those who never earned it, don't deserve it and pay nothing in taxes.  BUT, it's truly the right thing to do.  I am on solid moral grounds advocating for this and I genuinely think you know this.

Do you have intimidate knowledge of what every American deserves?

Do you feel better when the money is thrown at big corp?

…..a strong argument, yet, how much more would we have to expand the IRS muster and power?   …..don’t like what that may look like, imo.

Every citizen and resident of this Country must be invested in its success.  Therefore ALL PEOPLE must be required to pay taxes.  It is unjust to make only a few pay, and everyone else gets a free ride.

Seems very easy to me.  For every individual residing here - there should be at least one minimum payment of $1,000/year.  No pay, no benefits. The greater the benefits received, the more that person should be taxed.

IMHO, that is a good use of IRS audits and agents.

That's a complete lie.  It has been estimated that Bill gates has paid more than 10,000,000,000 in taxes over the years. Whether this amount is "fair" or not can be debated.  But, he sure as **** has paid billions more taxes than all of the welfare recipients put together.

The “Big lie” is that the rich don’t pay their fair share.
