I wanted to expose them by listing their names in this newsletter. The website of their parent organization, The Democratic Socialists of America, is more frank. By the way, the Socialists didn't want me to list the names of their agents in Congress. They ignored my repeated requests for the list that Mary Mostert has provided. I felt it was important for you to know their names, because I expect them to be very vocal in the debate over the President's tax relief plan.
Federal taxes are the highest they've ever been in peacetime.
Americans pay more in taxes than they spend on food, clothing and shelter combined. Americans work nearly five months of the year just to pay their tax bill. The typical family now pays over 40 percent of their income in taxes after accounting for all federal, state and local taxes. This is more than twice the rate paid by the typical family in 1955. One in five taxpaying families with children will no longer pay an income tax at all, completely removing 6 million American families from tax rolls.
