Americans Paying The Taxes Because The Rich, Corporations et al Don't.

Many Americans are complaining about high state and local taxes and federal taxes. Individual taxes like sales taxes, fees, property taxes, special taxes are getting higher because the GOP has allowed its crony scofflaws to escape them.

Low/Stagnant wages and higher burdensome taxes have always been the GOP plan. It is part of the starve the beast strategy. Every since Reagan the plan has been to burden the lower classes with ALL the taxes.

If the rich and corporations were to pay fair taxes state and local burdens as well as federal taxes would be a lot lower. The average wage earner cannot possibly support the government if the wealthiest and business escape all the taxes. These same groups use the commons to make their profit but do not want to pay for it.

It is the idea that WORKERS SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR THE PITTANCE THEY RECEIVE FOR WORK. After all the "job creators" deserve to be pampered.

Problem is, none of them actually pay any taxes, or pay pennies to the dollar of what they should. We could have healthcare for all and bridges that aren't crumbling if they actually paid taxes. Congress promises to change the loopholes. They just make them bigger because of their sugar daddies, and many of them don't want to pay taxes either.
