Yep. Why should a person's abilities determine what tax they pay? Is

there
a deduction right now for a lack of abilities? One thing I think ought to
be done away with is elderly folks paying school taxes. It's ridiculous.


Not at all. The elderly benefited in their youth from public schools and in
their productive years from schools for their children. Do you honestly
think that in that limited time span that the percentage of the tax that
went to the schools was enough to cover their own education and that of
their children? My total annual property taxes are less than it would take
to send one child to private school for one year. The public schools make
it up by spreading it over a taxpayer's lifetime. Or are you saying that
during their working years, a person's property taxes ought to be increased?

Keep in mind that even if a person never has children, they still benefit
from the public education of the community as a whole. If they did not pay
school taxes, they would end up paying increased taxes to support an
increased number of people on welfare. It's far cheaper to pay school taxes
so people can be productive than to support them on welfare.


Whatever the IRS considers as income...the total taxable income that is
reported on a W-2--and that's determined by IRS rules, which ultimately, I
suppose are determined by we the People (yeah, right, but you get the

gist).


They keep changing the rules on that you know.
