I don't think I have time to ask the question on why we are auditing people on the earned income tax credit at a greater rate than people who are at the very top wage earners.
We do think the inheritance piece and the capital gains piece does do something about this inherent unfairness.
As of 2018, the richest 400 Americans were actually paying a lower effective tax rate.
I think if we all work on that, including maybe Republican Members of Congress getting vaccinated, we will all be better off.
I will tell you, it was pretty scary in the sense that... almost all of my constituents are paying a higher tax rate than people like Jeff B...
I can tell you that UI is not the problem. A lot of our industries are still really hurting.
If you are really small, gross revenues don't necessarily mean anything if you took on business that might have a lower margin.
I appreciate any changes we can do on that front.
I hate seeing people left behind.
Are you looking at any specific programs right now, or is this something we are going to need to probably try to initiate with you?
I can tell you very personally and specifically that I had difficulty in conveying some of my concerns in the last year.
