I have seen many liberals on Yahoo answers say that they are for higher taxes, universal healthcare, etc.... Without raising taxes, these programs are just dreams.
How many of you liberals are aware that your taxes are scheduled to go up by 156% in 2011? Can you afford this on your current salary / hourly wage? How much are you willing to pay in sales taxes, income taxes, etc. before it becomes a problem for you and your family?
The US Treasury has estimated that in 2011, a person making:
$50,000 annual income today ($55,100 in 2011) would see a $2,145 INCREASE (from $1,383 to $3,527) or 155 percent higher tax bill. .
• $60,000 annual income today ($66,200 in 2011) would see a $1,863 INCREASE (from $3,030 to $4,893) or 61 percent high tax bill.
Can you afford this?
Please don't give me any FAIR tax or revised budget numbers. Just answer this question. Your silence says a lot to me.
