Flat Tax

I believe that a flat tax should be used in the United States of America."To make sure that the poor don't suffer the brunt of these sales taxes, the government would send a monthly check called a prebate to families that would cover taxes on necessary expenses. The idea is that "no American pays tax on necessities." This quote to me really shows how dumb of an idea the "fair" tax people want is. People want the government to pay the poor people back for taxes that they have to pay. They expect the government to do this while people with more money will be paying more taxes anyways, and overall will be funding the government. 

I do not think that people in today's day and age really realize that you have to work hard to get what you want. The people who have a lot of money have worked hard to earn their money. They have put in a lot of time and effort to get where they are today. I am not saying that everyone that has less money is lazy, but this is a lot of times the case. Too many people think that things should be handed to them without them lifting a finger or getting down and dirty. There are many people all over the world that rely too much on disability checks or on welfare checks.

People who have more money have earned their money and they should not be taxed more because of it. With a flat tax everyone is charged the same percentage, so overall it is fair. People who have less income pay less, while people with more income are still paying more in taxes. An example of this is a person who makes 35,000 dollars a year will have to pay about 3,500 dollars while a person with an income of 100,000 dollars will have to pay about 10,000 dollars. This example is based off of a tax that is 10 percent of a persons income. The person with a higher salary will have to pay over double in taxes of what the person with a lower income will have to pay.

Overall the flat tax system would be an overall more fair system for every person. People with lower salary will pay lower taxes while people with higher salary will be forced to pay more tax. This system will also charge people with a higher income a higher tax, but without taking away or punishing the people who worked hard to gain their wealth.
