Responding To Jim Inhofe (R) - Oklahoma

This is the email I just sent to Jim Inhofe (R) - Oklahoma:


Dear Mr. Inhofe,

You did not answer my initial question, which was to explain how it benefits the nation for me and my family to pay 10% of our income in taxes while we struggle to put food on our table while 55% of American businesses pay no taxes at all. This is happening while our country is $14.9 trillion in debt. If you are serious about reducing the debt, it would make sense to make sure the people who are making the money are also paying the money. When you signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, you promised not to raise taxes on anyone. It would seem clear that receiving any kind of financial income from large corporations, rather than paying them large tax refunds, would be a better direction to go if your aim is to improve the current state of the economy. The way things are going now, you are expecting the debt to be reduced solely by families, such as mine, who don't make enough money to comfortably feed their children. Lowering taxes will not assist with this. Taxing EQUALLY will. I don't mind doing my share to care for my country. I do mind being taken advantage of by a system that takes my money and does not take the money of others during a time when our country desperately needs all the income it can get.

Please explain how you plan to equalize our current tax system, so that everyone ends up paying the bill to keep our country strong and running.

Thank you


I will post any response I receive.
