Imagine how much more they are scamming us by allowing them to take bogus deductions and hide money.

But never forget that it's those damned lazy poor people wanting to feed their kids; that is the real problem.

We really need more revenue from those below the $250,000 bracket also, if we want to keep a modern civilized society. Or we could cut that humongous defense budget.

revenue from the wealthy. Eliminating the loopholes for the rich and tax breaks for greedy corporations. People forget that most of the big corporations in this country are paying little to no taxes.
