I don't care , that's not the point. one more time The deductions that everyone gets is the reason why some don't pay taxes but they are deductions that no one wants to get rid of , hence people not paying taxes.

I would agree that individuals do not want to reduce or eliminate deductions. We have common ground there; however, I would totally disagree that deductions are the only reason people pay no income taxes. Every consumer pays taxes .. every consumer does not pay income taxes.

Exactly and one** of the contributing factors to inflation are rising wages. Wages are one of the most significant costs for an organization.

Depends, they go from 18% to 52% of course that is on average and all being tax deductible which really crunches that amount.

I don't care what is available to cut taxes , in the minimal tax rate of 0-9275 of 10% The standard deduction alone is 12,000. what My point is there is a group of tax deductions called personal allowances , everyone gets. That alone is a reason why people don't pay taxes . and no one wants to get rid of them. If you take the personal allowances away from the 9,275 dollar income earner he will pay 10% in taxes/ Whats the point.
 
We really don't have to go this deeply, answer this and we can all go home. Tell me why my tax dollars should be used to gold plate the bottom line of some massive corporation. To pay their workers through welfare dollars enough to feed their family. That is bull****.

Its cheaper with the slight product increase to have a higher minimum wage because for every amount increase there is a amount that is no longer needed for welfare . A livable wage is set already by the government , It changes often but could be set once or twice a year by businesses by those government standards. Lets get around this crap, tell me why my tax dollars should be used to gold plate the bottom line of some massive corporation.

Go ahead at this point everything is bull**** and if you think I'm going to hold anyone's hand through this thread you are mistaken.

You got a problem because all the rednecks support your opinion but all the facts support what i said. You can't find a study that I can't find 10 showing you that you have no clue. And all yours will be by redneck opinion and mine will be studies by people that can be trusted/ So is that dramatic enough for you cowboy

Taxation is theft.
 
The bottom line is Labor has to be able to afford our First World economy and wages must outpace inflation on an Institutional basis.
