I understand everyother type of tax. Except income tax.
Why should someone be charged directly from their income? It's completely unfair. I'm sure there are better reasons, I'd like to know them.

Ok. Good, you understand the concept of tax. Income tax is supposed to be that the poor, who have less, get taxed less. The rich, who have more, get taxed more. If we had a good president, it'd seem a lot more fair.

An income tax is also known as a federal income tax. It's what helps support the federal government. The property taxes that a person may pay support the local government; sales taxes help support the state government (if a state has a sales tax); social security taxes support (obviously, social security).

If I underatand your question you mean, why is income taxable? I think it has to do with paying for the priviledge of living in a country where a free market society is sustaining people.

Your income tax pays for police, fire, ambulance, hospital and school. Fed govt provide grant to state and who in turn provide to twp.
Some of your money goes to congressmen/senators to fill their pockets too.

What would you rather have a vat tax or a consumption tax where you can pay $10 for a gallon of milk.
