To: President Donald Trump and The United States House of Representatives
Fair Taxation
I think we could simply use the information that I stated in number 1 as the text of the petition.
Why is this important?
We need much more fairness in our tax system. Many people do not even realize that almost 1/2 of our citizens pay ABSOLUTELY NO INCOME TAXES AT ALL!
We must insist that everyone share the load. That 46% of the people who pay zero income taxes should be ashamed of themselves.
How can we best do that? I suggest that we end ALL deductions and loopholes. If EVERYONE pays the same percentage of income in taxes, that would most certainly be fair. Obviously, the wealthy will continue to contribute, by far, the largest total amount, at least the burden will be shared equally. We must end the so-called earned income credit. Do you realize that we actually PAY some citizens for doing nothing? As I understand it, the government actually sends them a check, rather than the citizen sending the government a check -- that makes no sense at all.
