The problem faced by the major parties is how to tax poor people Because of massive layoffs through outsourcing people who used to be paying income taxes now have no income
Imagine, you lose your job. The income tax that the right wingers complain about no longer effects you. But you still must pay the sales tax, and just about everything you buy is taxed. You must pay the tax on your car, or you will lose it. You must pay the taxes on your house, or the city will take it. The mortgage alone will be difficult enoug without a job.
In addition you will have to pay excessive amounts of money to renew your driver’s license, and your automobile registration.
Besides life being made difficult because of the depression engineered by the international companies and their subservient major parties, you can actually become homeless through excessive taxation.
If you are renting, the real estate tax still effects you because the rent you pay must cover the expenses of the building, such as the taxes.

Robert Underwood
The various taxes are not as visible to the tax payer. The excise taxes on tobacco and alcohol are getting high enough to invite smuggling, and an expensive enforcement bureaucracy to counter it.
The real estate tax is a poor way to finance our schools. It also makes life difficult for those who have lost their jobs. It generates pressure to cut education, which we should be improving.
I would vote to rely on the income tax. It is more visible, and people pay more attention to it. The real problem is that the taxes are spent on wasteful things. I address these points in the other parts of my platform. Under my system wasteful items would be cut, taxes would go down, they would just me more visible and easier to watch.
I would vote to increase the rental deduction to $20,000.

Income Tax: The Rental Deduction
One of the few “benefits” that renters get on their income tax is the rental Deduction. Housing is a necessary cost of living. The owner of the building gets to deduct the cost of operating the building, up to a $25,000 loss. But the renter only gets do deduct $3,000 from his state income taxes. Where could anyone find a rent for $3,000 per year?
