You’ve explained the need for taxes so well. Always my argument… I don’t have children, and yet I will gladly pay taxes to have an Educated populace! Love the graphics…so very helpful!

Ah, yes... thank you, Redistribute Ronnie for taxing my Social Security check hailing your trickle-down fiasco. He was a lousy actor, too.

The liars of the Right did a great job of portraying Government Waste and corruption - The Welfare Queen immediately come to mind - while hiding the fact that the *real* welfare queens are their corporate cronies and billionaire benefactors. Sadly, the Democrats have never been very good at exposing or refuting this.

People also blame the IRS for tax problems - not understanding the the IRS doesn't write the Tax Code - Congress does - and they merely apply the rules Congress creates - the reason Irresponsible Republicans underfund them. Less people and funds means less ability to go after the big cheats - the aforementioned corporate cronies and billionaire benefactors who claim their billion dollar yachts as a business expense - while nailing the little guy who claimed his cold water flat as a home office.

It is all about fairness - and our current Tax Code is very unfair.
