It's obvious based n this list that at least 20 more taxes are needed.

You forget that for the median income, average tax rates were lower in 2009, 2010 and 2011 than any year back to 1955 except for 2008.
In other words, taxes for most haven't been lower than they are now since the Eisenhower administration.
During the first three years of Obama’s presidency, all personal taxes were 9.6 percent, 9.7 percent and 10.8 percent of personal income, respectively. Those are on the low end of this 50-year time span. The only other years to fall below the 2011 rate were 1964, 1965, 2003 and 2004.

It's not conservative or liberal, it's just the facts. Point is, taxes are historically low right now, despite the fact that all the conservatives here feel it's otherwise.

Is that for the median income level? I provide very different numbers from Politifact above.

That's the aggregate for everyone in the country--high and low income. kind of a 'moving average' which goes up every year

For the past 70 years, tax revenue relative to GDP has been averaging 17-18%. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFRGDA188S
If you want to increase tax revenue, you have to increase economic growth, the 1% GDP growth we have been experiencing for years is essentially going backwards.

my experience with toll roads is that they are NOT a tax. Toll roads are generally owned by independent companies. that would then be a service fee, not a tax. same for waste management services. that is an optional service one can choose to pay for or not, as there are independent waste companies not contracted through municipalities, as well as you could take your own waste to the dump/landfill
also, my seller's permit was provided free of charge by the state (BOE). while i do pay sales/use tax when applicable, there is no tax/fee for the permit itself. this is in CA
i'm not so sure your list is accurate

Yeah, thats not so bad. The one that gets me is the new toll section of the 110fwy. The 110 is literally the first freeway built in this town. Freeway. They are called freeways because you don't have to pay a toll. Freeways were built with taxes, and they are maintained with taxes, and now they're trying to sell the damn things to us twice. Chaps my ass just thinking about it.

How else should we pay for Republican tax cuts for the rich?

I'll quote someone who rips your argument to shreds:
Quote:
hostileuniverse said: Is federal income tax the only tax we pay? No, it is not. Some states have a state income tax as high as 13%. Now add in gas tax, sales taxes, "luxury" taxes, real estate taxes, cell phone taxes, investment taxes, internet taxes, and the list goes on and on and on...

Your post is retarded, clearly I was referring to federal income taxes, not all taxes
Does pretending to not know what is being discussed make you feel smarter? Or are you just so desperate for a "gotcha" line you don't care?

Crumist was VERY clear in his post that he was referring to Federal Income taxes; he even had a Federal income tax talbe in his post.
You, on the other hand, only said "48% of Americans pay ZERO taxes". You said nothing about Federal income taxes.

HU always thinks he is the victim. We point out the flaws in his argument, and instead of a "thanks man, I'll be more careful next time", he cries to the mods that people are being mean for pointing out the flaws in his logic.

You have to be super emotional to lash out at people who are trying to help you.
My girlfriend always does it when she's on her period.
