Everybody from this lowly minion to the richest man on the planets knows taxes are a sewer hole of theft and corruption.

Everyone with a wit of sense avoids any taxes they don't have to pay.

Just for clarity. The top 1% currently pay 40.4% of all federal income taxes. Fact.

The bottom 50% of earners pay 3% of all federal income taxes. Fact

Paying or not paying taxes isn't the crux of the issue. Fraud, theft and outright corruption on every level of government is the real place the rubber meets the road.

Stop the theft, fraud and corruption and taxes can be reduced on every level.

Thank you. God bless.

We found out the hard way when businesses were heavily taxed in the past. That's why hardly ever see anything made in the US anymore. Those businesses went overseas and all the jobs they provided.

Ahhh. Common sense. Sadly there is very little of that here and now.
