Not sure where what Rome ey has to do with this? His name isn’t mentioned at all?
Also the 47% point is a myth… it just isn’t true. Social security taxes are income taxes and you can’t get out of them.
this territory is moderated
47 percent is a reference to 2012 campaign. A bad joke.
Social Security and Medicare taxes are deducted from income but counted separately
Edit: 47 percent refers to federal income tax only
Brookings presents zero relevant statistics 📊 or figures or quantitative evidence to debunk the myth of 47 percent
If your income is below 40,000 bucks you will not pay any income tax. Maybe it’s 35,000. I forget the threshold.
I have heard other economists echo 47 percent or almost half.
The solution is a flat tax of 19 percent or the highest bracket should be 25 percent
Eliminate payroll taxes. Privatization of social security and Medicare. Eliminate Medicaid which is a handout for parasites
