Government spending is out of control. It is time to pass an admendment to prohibit congress from taxing any citizen over a certain percentage of their income (e.g. -10%). Let's start making the 25+ million illegal immigrants start paying taxes. Why should I have to continue to give up 60% of my family income every year, when there are so many Americans and illegal aliens that pay little to no income taxes or make any contribution to this great country. Equal justice for all!
