We should tax the entire planet. I call it a fair tax.

If it's going to COST you that much, then you either own a ton of homes or have a 5 million dollar house, or you make like 450k a year. Both of which is totally cool and "good on you," as the people with poor English say!

I will say... thank you for subsidizing my roads, and the defense of this nation! Thank you!

Just based on my annual income now...and not including savings and assets...im just barely above the national poverty level. Without the assets, I would qualify for food stamps and utility assistance. You couldnt survive in calif with an income under $20,000 without being a robber or thief or getting welfare. Just your rent would take most of your income. https://www.zillow.com/los-angeles-ca/rent-houses/
