NJ has the highest paid taxes in the country. My parents house taxes raised 5k in 1 year because our gov doesnt want to raise taxes on the wealthy but he wants to eliminate our debt.
To think about it if we keep piling on debt, America will be someone other country's Country. I understand what Hunter is saying but top 1% of america makes up 40% of the America's economy. I think they can help a little.
In my personal case, i work hard, go to school, my parents are middle class where my whole city is about 80% poor. My father worked here for 30 years and is now on social security because of 5 heart attacks he had which makes him disabled and unable to work.
I dont think its equivalent for people who make less than 40k a year to pay high taxes when they have to worry about a mortgage's,food, education costs and other expenses that only make families live off a check by check basis.
My Aunt is realtor and uncle is oncologist with their income at 250k a year. They have unused money that they use to help poor families. Im pretty sure their extra money would happily create less stress for the poor families than just providing them with materials.
