Change the Tax rate


Mitt Romney made 24.7 million dollars last year and had a tax rate of about 15%, while the average person has a tax rate of about 30%. Now you tell me how is this fair? You take a poll of some of the richest or highest paid politicians, and just general people for that matter and find out their tax rate. Now compare it to the average tax rate of the working class, big difference huh?
                You tell me, how is it fair that the highest paid people in America have the lowest tax rates, while the people who need their hard earned money to put their kids through school, or pay their mortgage are stuck paying around 30% to taxes. I’m not implying that these upper-class people aren’t good people or don’t understand what it’s like to have to pay to put your kid through school, or pay a mortgage, or that they don’t care, I am simply saying that it needs to change. If you want a lower tax rate for yourself or even just a fairer one, then contact your local representative, or get involved. Let people know how you feel, get the word out and change it, because you shouldn’t be stuck with high taxes unable to pay for your home while some wealthy man just throws his money away at whatever he likes, not worrying a single bit about taxes.
