The "faix" tax means......


Bill Gates pays $3.00 for a bottled water ($1.00 + $2.00 tax) of 1/6000ths of his hourly income. (1)

The single mom with a "deadbeat" baby's daddy making $9.00 an hour has to spend 1/3rd of her hourly wage to buy the same bottle of water.


That is a regressive tax structure, the less you make the more you are impacted by the tax burden.


What is exactly fair about that?




Back on the main topic and off the margins....

Here are some words NOT in the pledge: (1)

Wall Street: 0
