n.c. house agrees to tax package as part of budget

Published Jun. 12, 2009
Views: 135

The House voted 64-52 in favor of higher sales and income taxes, as well as increases on liquor and movies.

---

 

Since I am unemployed, the tax I pay for sales is nearly zero, since I have no income, I don't get to pay Income Taxes.  I have all the liquor that I need for a few years, and I very rarely will attend a movie.

And this just adds to my contention that whomever voted for this provision is replaced the next election.

"Taxes aren't the the point they will create an underround economy yet" I'm not so sure. The full compliance rate in this country, for individual and corporate income taxes anyway, is probably in the single digits. Note that I said "full" - no fudging whatsoever. Going to be difficult for the people to forcibly remove 'the regime' in that only about 50% are paying taxes - the other 50% are living off them!
