RE: Lucy. A short story for Twenty-four hour short story contest
Yes! People like Jeff Bezos who net billions of dollars a year will avoid paying Federal income taxes. Because, it's legal. Meanwhile a doctor I know grosses $700,000 a year and pays $350,000 a year in taxes. Why is he in such a high tax bracket but not billionaires? Furthermore, low-wage workers at Amazon pay income taxes, but Bezos legally gets away without paying. A Flat Tax would solve that problem. It's both Democrats and Republicans who keep these tax laws in place. Meanwhile, we can only hope those with billions or millions will remember to fund after-school programs and Pets for Vets and that sort of thing.... sorry for the rant. I'm just having another one of those days. Thank you for spreading the goal of making a difference!
Thank YOU. You are so right.
Speaking of rants, I just had one here:
