Tax

In the United States there is a big debate on whether or not the United States should change the way the United States does their taxes today. Right now the United States uses progressive tax, higher the income higher the tax and lower the income lower the tax.  The middle and lower class really do not benefit from progressive tax but it does help with the poor. This means that when you don’t make enough money to make ends meet, you will get a little break. Then you have some people that think that is not fair, the poor gets to pay less so why should I have to pay more? Why don’t you put yourself in their shoes? Try living with no money, kids, and bills to pay. You would want help. But, no you are too greedy to give a little money. Most American’s on average has a percentage of tax for income ranging from forty thousand to fifty thousand is eleven percent of your income that you must pay. So if you make forty-five thousand in all reality you would be paying roughly the government four thousand nine hundred and fifty in taxes.  Now if we had a flat tax everyone would be paying the same amount as your neighbor.  But, what happens when your neighbor is a millionaire? That will mean that that your neighbor who makes millions, pays the same amount as you do. Yes some of that states today use the flat tax for their way of income. You know why some states are like that? The United States once used the flat tax after the civil war. I feel that we should keep the way the taxes are run right now. I feel as though when you make enough money then you should be able to pay more.
