Letter to the editor: Let’s look at who’s paying their ‘fair share’
Share this post:
Democrats and their minions in the legacy media and various cable new outlets have “waged war” against the wealthy, saying that they have not paid “their fair share of taxes.” Most have never stated what “their fair share” should be.
President Trump’s proposed $5,000 DOGE rebate essentially defines what a “fair share” should be for income taxes. According to federal data, the bottom 50% of taxpayers paid less than $5,000 in federal income taxes. Here is the link to verify this statement: taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/latest-federal-income-tax-data-2024. Using the DOGE $5,000 savings as a baseline, the bottom 50% did not “pay their fair share.” Why should they receive a $5,000 DOGE savings rebate when they did not pay their “fair share”?
They did not pay their “fair share”? Shouldn’t the proposed DOGE rebate go to only those who paid “their fair share”? Let’s give the money back to “those who earned it.” They have paid their “fair share.”
