Taxes are a drain on the U.S. economy. We have the highest corporate tax rates in the world. Why would any companies want to make products in America? The more taxes that you and I pay to the government the less money we put into the economy. Simple fix. Cut taxes. Cut taxes for EVERYONE. Rich to poor. EVERYONE. I am a person that is living paycheck to paycheck and the less money I pay in taxes the more I have to get ahead. We have three people left in the race for president. None of them has said anything about cutting taxes. All of them will raise taxes and send us toward socialism. Barrack is a racist. Hillary is a liar. And McCain is a right leaning Democrat. They comprise the weakest group of candidates we have ever had in a presidential election. GOD help us. From a taxpayer to all who see this. Taxes are a drain on the U.S. economy.
