Tax Cuts

1) The article sums up tax cuts and spending. It simplifies who pays what and how much. It works this way so that the rich have to pay more and the poor pay nothing. The poor can only make more if the rich become richer. When a wealthy man gets his pay check at the end of the week he looks at his check and notices that almost half of his hard earned money is taken out, he wonders were the money actually goes. Yeah some of it goes state and some goes to federal, but a great majority goes in the pockets of the non workers, the ones who can work but choose not to. Like at the end of the year, after people file for taxes and maybe get back some money, the ones who get back the most are the ones who worked the least and the ones who worked the most get very little to nothing. How is that fair?

2) This article does explains how complicated the tax process and the tax system actually is, but in real life it is obviously not this simple. It isn't this simple because so people feel obligated to ask questions and so the government can make money. In the article the people get tax cuts and the rich get a bigger percent because they paid more. As stated in "How Did the Tax Code Get so Complicated?" They say "To make it worse, the "mix" of tax increases and decreases for particular groups of taxpayers often shifts from one year to the next, resulting in a constantly changing kaleidoscope of tax increases for some and tax decreases for others." (Ernest S. Christian). This statement makes sense because the tax system is constantly changing making it more and more complicated.

3) The author is a Democrat because he tend to favor the low income more. In the article the men get together and beat up the ricg man because he got more money then the lower class. The author talks more about the poor and there is more poor people then there is rich.
