Why would each city vary the percentage?

Why are Sales Taxes and Flat Rate Income Taxes not considered as Progressive rather than Regressive? Sales Taxes and Flat Rate Income Taxes should be considered Progressive as opposed to being considered regressive. It is much more difficult to "cheat" on a Sales Tax. Sales Taxes tax only the money that people spend, i.e., if you are in a low income bracket you spend less and therefore your taxes are lower. Flat rate income taxes have proven to raise more money than those incomes taxes which increase the rate of taxation as income increases. Sales Taxes and Flat Rate Taxes have been proven to increase revenue and increase prosperity in foreign countries where they have been tried. The label "Regressive", coined by a Socialist, has been proven be be wrong and negatively impacts the concept of the proper method of Taxation. It has, however, been quite effective as a propaganda tool..

Why not increase city & state income taxes & abolish property taxes? I would like to see property taxes abolished & a 2% city tax of personal income be charged along with an increase in state income taxes. Here, in North Dakota, our property tax is way out of line, while our state income tax is almost nill. Some people want to abolish the state income tax. This would only benefit the extremely wealthy & the large corporations. With the 2% city tax & the increase in state income tax, this should help fund our schools & provide services for the entire state.

How can you cut income taxes for the poor??? Inevitable, on a daily basis, several Y!A users are bemoaning tax cuts for the rich and crying "what about the poor?!" So.... Lower income people, especially those with children, frequently get back more than they pay in. If you take deductions and tax credits into account, a single mother could pay $1,000 in federal income tax withholdings throughout the year, but get a $3,000+ refund. $2,000+ more than she even paid in. Likewise, a college student using education tax credits could also get more refunded than paid in. Etc. Etc. America's biggest tax consumers are also America's worst tax contributors. So the question is, how do you cut taxes for a group of people that have NO effective tax rate? How do you cut taxes for a group of people that pay NO taxes and in fact profit from income tax every year?

Taxes on unearned income? I'll start by saying that I don't know much about taxes and I'm preparing to file on my own for the first time (in the United States). I have been looking tonight and it seems that interest earned in a simple high-yield savings account counts as unearned income. I have found charts that give the tax brackets for earned income, but can't find anything about unearned income. Is unearned income taxed? If so, can someone point me to the chart so that I can calculate it for myself? Is it just a flat rate? Thanks.

Are property taxes related to income taxes? Can unpaid property taxes put a lien on your checking account?

Income taxes a law or a hoax? 1. in the constitution it says you do not have to incriminate yourself however it is illegal not to file income tax return and to lie on one, and you can go to to jail based on what you put down. (unconstitutional) 2. congress nor senate will not show us the law witch requires me to pay income taxes. We have asks many times however they will not show us the law. the constitution says we have the right to see the law witch means maybe there is no law. (unconstitutional) 3. the supreme court has said that the 16 Amendment granted congress no new authority to tax the americian public and if the supream court says it is unconstitutional it is (unconstitutional) for gomanyes562 1. if i say or right something and it can jail me i call it a testimony 2. since when does the Internal Revenue Code over rule the supream court 3. you may have a point there but this is yahoo answers not yahoo attack the conspiracy theorist i mean how did you become a top contributer

Income Taxes and Foreclosure? I have a question regarding my 2007 income taxes and a foreclosed property. A house I owned went into foreclosure which I then received the notice of sale about it being sold at public auction. According to the county's website, it was sold as a 'government sale' in 2007. The original purchase price of the house was 335K, then was refinanced at 400K. The property was sold at the auction for 366K. The FMV for the house is 381K. I had 2 mortgages on the house totaling 400K. My question is this, which difference will I have to claim as income when I file my 2007 taxes? The diff between 400K and 366K (Auction Price) or 400K and 381K (FMV Price)? Also, what are the chances that the bank will sue me for the 400K?

Why are we paying Income Taxes Part 3? Last week I wrote a discussion on Income Tax and wanted to see proof of the law? All I got was a Wikipedia defintion which I don't use because of the many mistakes that are make within the website. However I would like for anyone to show me in the US law that requires us to pay Income Tax? I don't want to see a codify IRS rules. In the constitution it says do not tax a man labor or compensation! But somehow I have been doing serious research and I have not found a Federal Law saying that we are to pay the income taxes. I want someone to show me a Federal US Law in our constitution that says we are to pay these taxes. Not some book that the IRS design to mislead us? If You have a answer please leave a website and or other resources so that I can review them and I will write back to you to tell you if I am right or wrong!

Divorce and Income Taxes? Ok here goes. My husband and I were granted a divorce in April 2007. Until that time we were filing our income taxes as married (jointly). How will we do our taxes this year, since part of the year we were considered married and then the other half (though majority) we were single. I'm concerned because I know for a fact he is not having as much money taken out of his paychecks for taxes (so he would have to pay a little or perhaps get only a little back) whereas I'm getting more money getting taken out of MY paycheck (so I'll be guarenteed to get money BACK from the gov.) I want to know that there is a way to divide the taxes so that if he's hasn't been paying enough he doesn't get as much money back/ and I get more money back since I've been paying more. A little history on our divorce arrangement regarding taxes: We have two children. He will claim the 10 year old and I will claim the 4 year old (with daycare expenses,etc). Thanks!

Property taxes and income tax return? My husband and I just bought our first home, we weren't given the option to have an escrow account included with our mortgage company.

My husband is in the Army, and his W2's aren't realesed to him until the (almost) end of February. Please help, this is very important. To me at least.Thank you all for any help, or any info you can give.

Damn! Income Taxes? One day, this man, Tony, died. When he was sent to be judged, he was told that he had committed a sin, and that he could not go to heaven right away. He asked what he did and God told him that he cheated on his income taxes, and that the only way he could get into heaven would be to sleep with a 500 pound, stupid, butt-ugly woman for the next five years and enjoy it. Tony decided that this was a small price to pay for an eternity in heaven. So off he went with this enormous woman, pretending to be happy. As he was walking along, he saw his friend Carlos up ahead. Carlos was with an even bigger, uglier woman than he was with. When he approached Carlos he asked him what was going on, and Carlos replied "I cheated on my income taxes and scammed the government out of a lot of money, even more then you did." They both shook their heads in understanding and figured that as long as they have to be with these women, they might as well hang out together to help pass the time (contd. below...) Now Tony, Carlos, and their two beastly women were walking along, minding their own business when Tony and Carlos could have sworn that they saw their friend John up ahead, only this man was with an absolutely drop dead gorgeous women. Stunned,Tony and Carlos approached the man and in fact it was their friend John. They asked him how is he with this unbelievable goddess, while they were stuck with these god-awful women. John replied "I have no idea, and I'm definitely not complaining. This has been absolutely the best time of my life (and I'm dead,) and I have five years of the best sex any man could hope for to look forward to. There is only one thing that I can't seem to understand. Everytime we're done having sex, she rolls over and murmurs to herself, "Damn income taxes"!!!!!

son and income taxes claim as independent?? we live in colorado my son (hes 19) had a full time job in 2007 we usually claim him as a dependent on our income taxes, this year he will be filing his own taxes can we still claim him as a dependent on our income tax since he still does live at home.

Unreported income after filing taxes? I just filed my income taxes this afternoon. I claimed my neighbor's daughter as a non-EIC dependent, but she made less than $1000.00 for the year. I did not report her income because she made less than $3200.00. Should I have claimed her income even though we never received any of it? Also, we had one other W-2 show up in the mail today that was not reported. It is only for $57.00 with no Federal or State taxes taken out. I imagine that I will need to file an 1040X, but what am I looking at as far as receiving my refund in time? We are due a refund of approx. $2400 this year, with an AGI of approx. $29,000. Any solutions? In response to Judy's answer, my neighbor's daughter DID live with me for the WHOLE year and I DID support her. So, I did NOT break the law. Thank you though for your insight.

Income Taxes on Alimony? I am doing my own taxes, however I am reporting alimony for income last year. In 2006 I reported my alimony, and had no job, and for federal I didn't owe anything and for state I owed $100. For 2007, I had a job (Made about $13k), however before alimony my federal refund is $694, and after I show alimony it's only $211? And for state it's showing I owe $199? This doesn't seem right, so I am not sure what it could be that's wrong, or does anyone know if this sounds right? Does federal and state take out more taxes for alimony (received same amount of alimony in 06 and 07) when you have a job? And second question is do I still have to report alimony if it was a mutual verbal (not court documented) agreement, but my ex is reporting paying alimony to me? (this is for Michigan) thanks.

Income Taxes - where is the law!? I knew that would draw in the Federal propaganda mouth pieces. I ask you "America" this question Every time someone posts a question like the one I posted above, there are several who come and answer in support of paying taxes with no law. They bring up the same old b.s. remarks about the 16th amendment being ratified and then go into title this and title that. What real American has all this title information? What real American can even understand tax language or specific past court rulings? No American - that is who! What American have you ever spoken with who actually supported income taxation. These people who answer these questions in support of taxation are Federal officers or the like, not Americans. No real American is going to support giving up 1/3 of their paycheck. These people are there to keep the lie going. Saying things like, "Go ahead and quit paying, see how fast they knock at your door". They use intimidation and threats - not law! Wake up The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises That's right - for the District of Columbia Not applied to the statesman, unless you retrun that IRS form they mail to you! Then you are claiming you are not a statesman and the law then applies to you! Big difference - the 16th amendment and the titles are meant for the District of Columbia and certain businesses there - that law does not apply to statesman - Me

Should Federal income taxes vary by state ? The reason I ask..is someone just asked the question... "am I considered middle class with 100k per year ?" Immediatley I thought.... depends on where you live ! In FL, you would be living great on 100k... not so much in parts of California though... Should income taxes vary by state, according to the average cost of living in that state ?...wouldn't this help to keep the standard of living in the US somewhat uniform accross the country ? And wouldn't it help the state to lobby on your behalf to keep your income tax low ? well as far as standar of living...I meant to say... standard of living being more uniform for the middle and lower class. Anyway.. thanks for the answers.... it was just a thought.

have you done your income taxes? one day this guy called Ari died. when he arrived to be judged, he was told that he had cheated on his income taxes, and therefore would not be allowed to go to heaven unless he spent the next five years with a 400 pound, stupid, ugly woman. Ari decided that this was a small price to pay for an eternity in heaven. so off he went with this enormous, vile woman as they were walking along, he saw his friend Matty ahead. Matty was with a big incredibly ugly woman too. when he approached Matty he asked hi what was going on, and Matty replied, 'I cheated on my income taxes.' they both shook their heads in understanding and figured that as long as they have to be with these women, they might as well hang out together to make it easier to bear. so the four of them were walking along, minding their own business when Ari and Matty could have sworn that they saw their friend nick up ahead, only this man was with an absolutely gorgeous centerfold. stunned, Ari and Matty approached the man, and in fact it was their friend nick. They asked him how he had managed to land this unbelievable goddess, while they were stuck with these god-awful women. Nick replied, ‘I have no idea, and I’m definitely not complaining. This has been absolutely the best time of my life, and I have had five years of the best sex any man could hope to look forward to. There is only one thing that I can’t seem to understand. After every time we have sex, she rolls over and murmurs to herself, “damn income taxes!!”’

Should student file low income taxes?

Should I also consider filing a state tax return (beside the federal one)? Thank you very much

I am a statesman How do 12,000,000 illegals get away with not paying income taxes. Why do they have more rights than American born citizens. Shouldn't the Federal Government go after those tax evaders who crossed illegally and broke the law to come and work and pay no taxes. They have broken two laws, but who goes after them - no one! But yet a couple in N.H. has been surrounded for months by Federal officers and had all their power and untilities cut off. Does that make sense to you!?

The Top 5% of TAX PAYERS pay 58% of all income taxes, Is this FAIR? The bottom 50%? They pay a paltry 3.97% of all income taxes. Are they paying their FAIR share? "FAIR" there is that word again. Liberals can not seem to talk for more than two minutes without the word fair popping up. Apparently Liberals really want everything to be fair. But their version of what is and is not fair seems to be a bit skewed to many people. Certainly fairness in taxation amounts to soaking the taxpayer depending on how much they earn. Liberals oppose all tax codes, which would truly be fair. Flat taxes, where everyone pays the same rate? Liberals do not like those. Consumption taxes, where again everyone is taxed in a balanced fashion? Liberals dislike that system as well. In fact, the only "fair" tax code to liberals appears to be one which punishes success, and takes way too much of Americans hard earned money and places it in the hands of government.

Why not base taxes on assets rather than income? It seems that a major function of government is to protect the assets of the people and the environment that provides that security and free market capitalism. Why not base taxes on assets rather than income? Taxing income is penalizing industrious hard work, while taxing assets would encourage a stewardship towards one's assets.
