The USA is going down down down. This is one of the reasons

Because a lot of Republican lawmakers and some Democratic lawmakers refuse to raise taxes on the rich, but on average Americans. It's grossly unfair, always has been.

Because they get all these tax deductibles, they're rich because they are smart. That's why everyone who is just given moneys losses it all.

U guys should adopt islamic syariah tax code. In islam everybody should pay 2.5% yearly tax on their WEALTH not income. If that wealth above a certain minimum

[realblacksknowthetruth]

but that's the whole idea with taxes you're supposed to want to pay the least amount of them. why we're chastising them is just pure unadulterated jealousy if you want your taxes to be less learn how to cut them and no point did they do anything illegal.
