No one with a regular income should be exempt from paying income tax. Even if it’s only a 5% tax on low income earners, every wage earner must be made to feel the pain of tax hikes - instead of benefiting from excessive government spending on the backs of those who do pay taxes. 43% of wage earners now pay no income tax - and are motivated to vote for politicians who favor any increase in federal spending - as long as someone else has to pay for it.

Congress must pass the “Fair Tax” law and scrap the current tax code. Make everyone pay their fair share and then see just how long it takes for the voters to remove big government spenders from office. Everyone must have a stake in the tax burden being imposed on the citizens. To afford the taxes, low wage earners might just have to give up their cellphones, big screen TVs, video games, and in some cases, their SUVs....... Don’t tell me they are living in poverty.

A government ecomomic plan in which taxes are lowered on the wealthy so that they have incentives to do things with the extra money they would have would lead it to 'trickle down' to the middle and lower classes.

For example, the wealthy might use the extra money to expand their businesses or buy more shares in the stock market, thus expanding the economy and providing more jobs for those in the middle and lower classes.
