Taxes

THE CRESCENT EAGLE PARTY

**Rates:** In essence we are one of the least tax collecting countries in the world (as shown in the fallowing graph). No one should be complaining about our taxes much at all. As of November 1 2011 proposition 103 was voted on in Colorado to temporarily increase taxes. The proceeds of which would go to the public education in the state. However this proposition was not accepted and the public education in Colorado is still underfunded. Our candidates believe that education every where should be funded correctly. Therefore we would increase tax rates by 3% in all people that make 174,401 to 379,151+. Depending on how much this helps and the rate of which it increases the funding we might make it temporary or decide to make it a long term plan. The United States income tax rates are very complex and hard to explain. It is a wonder that the public is able to grapple what they have to pay and when they are overdue on their taxes. We would make the taxes easier to understand which we think would increase the number of people that would pay their taxes on time. With the poverty rate so high people have been laid off which changes what their tax rate is and they have to find out how much their taxes are. Especially in this time of the recession we must make the taxes easier to pay.
