Oh so your argue the "fair share" tax is better? If everyone pays six cents on the dollar that IS equal/fair to all. You argue a graduated scale that would PUNISH people for doing better.If you tax someone poor 6 cents on every dollar its a big deal to them. If you tax a rich person 6 cents its nothing to them.How is a sales tax unfair if it's based on so many cents on the dollar? Everyone pays the same %.If anything the gas tax is the fairest tax out there because it's based on use. And if you are looking for something that's even close to a cheat that would be bicycles use roads TAX FREE.So you agree you should pay more so the rich can pay less. Noted.and that is some headline screeching news?
A person who drives a 1000 miles a month pays more then the person who drives a 1000 miles a year. That tax is FAIR because it's based on use NOT your tax bracket.
Sales taxes are not "fair". They disproportionately hit the poor and lower income earners hardest, those who can least afford them.
Corporations don't pay them at all, especially gas taxes, so the highest users are exempt from gas taxes.
If we owe $30k per American for the debt should all the poor people really pay $30k and bill gates and Donald Trump should only pay $30k?
And we have a military all over the world protecting GE and Pepsi so they can profit and they don't want to chip in?
How does THAT even resemble fair?
