Tax Deduction

The tax deduction of mortgages is unfair to poor people. While Americans might think the tax code is

generally unfair about half said they think they pay the right amount in taxes. More than 50 percent of

respondents said that they think the tax system is unfair, and 57 percent of them said they are most bothered

by feeling that the wealthy dont pay their fair share. In the early 1970s the tax loopholes mainly benefit the

rich only. Some will say that the regressive taxation would be unfair to the poor because it places a

disproportionate burden on them. Even with the poor doing so much work they got paid so little.

The poor tax rate for low-income is lower than the average of 19.8% In most cases they say

low-income households owe no income tax. They dont have to owe because generally smaller amounts can

be exempted from smaller households and larger amounts from larger households. In contrast, the average

payroll tax rate for households in the lowest income quintile is 6.4 percent very similar to the average rate of

6.9 percent for all households. The payroll tax is by far the most significant federal tax for households in the

lowest income quintile, in terms of how much they pay. Rich people believe I create my life. Poor

people believeLife happens to me. They say a lot of poor people make excuses for themselves. From a

percentage basis, each person pays an equal amount of their income towards taxes, and from an absolute

basis, richer people pay more. Only for the poor people that work hard still get low pay.

The poor that dont work get paid 3.3% - 7.3% and they don't have to pay taxes. The Urban

Institute-Brookings Tax Policy Center estimates that 46 percent of households will owe no federal income

tax for 2011. A widely cited figure is a Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that 51 percent of households

paid no federal income tax in 2009. I support helping the needy I oppose funding the lazy. They are saying

the people that dont work or trying to find work or lazy and that they wont help you if you can't help

yourself but if you have work or looking for work they will help you as much as possible. The figures for

2009 are particularly anomalous; in that year, temporary tax cuts that the 2009 Recovery Act created

including the Making Work Pay tax credit and an exclusion from tax of the first $2,400 in unemployment

benefits were in effect and removed millions of Americans from the federal income tax rolls. Both of these

temporary tax measures have since expired. That are some of many reasons why they say the poor is poor.

The tax deduction are claiming their being unfair to the poor because they are being lazy. They feel

they should be able to go out and find a job rather it's a full or part time job. As for the poor they are saying

tis hard to find work in some places. Some are single stay at home moms. The tax deduction feels they

should work period and the poor say they try and find work. The put in so much work and get paid so little

and the ones that dont work get paid so little they feel either way they arent getting paid enough. I feel that

the poor that work should get paid at least middle class prices are around their. As for the poor that dont do

anything I feel they should go look for work. If they dont work then I feel they should go to school I feel

like there's no excuses to not do something to get some type of money. The poor and the middle class work

for money. The rich have money work for them because of the hard work they did you can do it too.
