Nobody loves to part with their money for nothing. I am against raising taxes for no reason, especially spending my tax money on the poor that refuse to work.

I always believe it is the businessman, the entrepreneur, the founders of companies and inventors that create the country. They contributed the most, for instance, Apple and Microsoft. How many jobs were created directly and indirectly by these two tech giants?

Everybody needs to pay taxes, the only question is, how much? I’ve come to believe that sometimes it is too much. Everybody knows Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg work day and night to start their company, whereas most workers have a steady 9 to 5 job and enjoy their time during weekends. Taxes should not be a punishment for working hard, and just like going to the mall, the more you buy, the cheaper it is, the harder you work, the less tax you should pay. Tax brackets should be structured in a way that the more you earn, the less you pay, this will encourage people to work even harder – fair tax rates!
