Flat Tax or What Tax?

                There are many different views and opinions on what kind of taxes the government should impose on the people. Some people like the way we are now, some want change. I personally believe in the idea of a fair tax. Where there is just a higher sales tax and everyone has to pay it. I do not think that a flat tax would be very fair. For example; in the article it talked about how if someone made fifty thousand dollars, and another person made three-hundred thousand dollars a year, they would both have to pay seventeen percent of what they made. I do not think that that is very fair for the people that made less.

                I do not know if this is already an idea, but, I think that the federal government should initiate a tax plan that automatically taxes people who make over a certain amount of money a year. I think that people like celebrities and sports athletes should have to pay a certain amount of money a year. This would benefit the lower class, because they would not have to pay as much taxes. The rich would cover for the poor if that makes sense. I really think that this plan should be in effect because; there are way too many poor people in the country that have to pay taxes, which we end up paying for anyways. I think that the people that have millions of dollars just sitting around should be required to pay to cover this. Especially the non-working, rich people.

                Yes, there would probably be many faults in this plan, and it would get torn apart by any political official. But, some of the politicians would be considered in that “tenth percentile” that would have to pay higher taxes. There will never be a good form for taxes. There will always be flaws, opinions, and different options to taxation.
