I remember we would go up one tax bracket when we worked more than two hours' overtime in a week.<br />But I didn't mean just taxing individual earners, I meant if everyone including big corporations, who write off every penny they spend, had to pay 10 to 15%, with no write-offs, we'd be in better shape. Just my theory, mind Kay L.

Here everybody pays 20% minimum going up to 50% depending on how much you earn. We have a conservative (capitalist) government who was not elected but is only in power because they teamed up with the liberal party. They have already done untold damage and will probably carry on for another three years until we can Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117681021989984923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-60666641777087702572012-01-27T21:12:05.062-07:002012-01-27T21:12:05.062-07:00Well, I would have been wrong, too, because I thou...Well, I would have been wrong, too, because I thought as you did.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-69340563517616427782012-01-27T20:12:28.423-07:002012-01-27T20:12:28.423-07:00@ MZ — I wouldn't have thought it, either, bec...@ MZ — I wouldn't have thought it, either, because it knocked a big hole in my premise, but I did a "cut and paste" of the definition.<br />Sigh.<br /><br />@ Sherry — I know, isn't the whole idea despicable? I've said for years we should all pay 10 or 15% income tax across the board, from pensioners to plutocrats, and there would be plenty of money in the government coffersKay L.
