Tax Reform for Liberals

As the Governor of the state of Michigan plays political games with education in an attempt to strong-arm the Republican led state senate into a tax increase, I am amazed that the way our local media is portraying the Michigan taxpayer. When Governess Granholm vetoed funding for education, they found a couple of die hard Democrats who said "I wouldn't mind a tax increase to pay for education". This reminded me of how so many wealthy Democrats will tell you that we don't pay enough in taxes. These are the same people who pay accountants and tax lawyers big bucks to find ways of not paying their taxes. Just ask Charlie Rangle. When they say "we" don't pay enough in taxes, they mean you.

Joe Biden likes to play the 'working class average joe', yet he owns a multi-million dollar estate in Delaware which was bought and paid for entirely by his salary as a U.S. Senator. He may have ridden Amtrack to D.C. but when he got there he rode around in limousines. His tax returns showed he itemized everything down to the Amtrack travel costs. Too bad he was so tight fisted when it came to charitable donations. Perhaps the money he saved by commuting to work could have gone to paying for a health care plan equal to his for his estate staff.

The members of the "Party of the People" live like Czars. Many now even have the title to go with the power and wealth. But since they like to say "We don't pay enough in taxes", then perhaps we should let them rectify the financial situation.
I propose an addition to our state and federal tax forms. One last section at the very end. First, a simple question that can only be answered with a 'Yes' or 'No'. "Do you feel that you are paying your fair share of taxes?" That question would be followed by a last adjustment to the return: If 'No', please add the amount you feel you still owe to the amount owed or deduct that amount from your refund." Any return with a small, symbolic amount filled in would be a flag for an audit. This would be a very revealing way to make the libs put their money where there mouth is. And who knows? It might bring in a few extra bucks toward paying off their multi-trillion dollar spending spree.
