ECO 100 Week 4 Discussion question
Benjamin Franklin reportedly said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” In other words, taxes will always be with us.
When we think of taxes, we often focus on the largest one, the federal personal income tax. But we also pay other taxes. Some are federal, and some are only in specific geographic areas (cities or states). Paying taxes can have a significant impact on our household budget. However, it’s also important to note the benefits we receive from services that are funded by tax dollars (public education, roads, parks, food assistance, etc.).
Identify one tax (other than federal personal income tax) you pay and one benefit you utilize that is funded by tax dollars. How do both of these impact your life and your family member’s lives?( I am a retired Army veteran with 100% disability rating so I know longer pay federal taxes on my retirement or disability. I do pay state taxes for Georgia, I don’t pay exile taxes on one vehicle of my choice which is the most expensive one I own at the time. A little about me that maybe be helpful.
