This money is taken from a worker's wages. Payroll taxes provide for Medicare, which is the health plan for the aged, and Social Security, the government assistance program for retired workers.
About 17% of homes or families pay no income or payroll taxes. Almost all of those households are identified either as older adults or very needy people.
Almost no one in the United States pays no taxes at all. There are taxes on companies, on imports and on inheritance, money or other property passed down by people who have died. There are also state and local taxes, and taxes on property, sales and gifts.
The criticism of Mr. Romney left him at first defending his position, then taking to the offense. For example, he criticized comments that President Obama made on Thursday. Mr. Obama stated that, you cannot change Washington from the inside, and can only change it from the outside.
The former governor said he can and will change Washington and will get the job done from the inside. In his words, "Republicans and Democrats will come together."但是在不缴纳联邦所得税的人群中,有28%缴纳工资税。这笔钱从工人的工资中扣除。工资税用于老年人医保(老年人健康计划)以及社会保险(政府针对退休工人的协助项目)。
约有17%的单身家庭或普通家庭不缴纳所得税和工资税。几乎所有这些家庭成员都是老年人或者赤贫的人。
在美国,几乎所有人都交税。有公司税、进口税和继承税,即对过逝的人传下来的钱或其他财产征收的税。还有州税、地方税以及财产税、销售税和礼品税。
这些针对罗姆尼的批评,先是使他为自己的观点辩护,然后他开始反击。比如,他批评奥巴马总统周四发表的言论。奥巴马声明,你不能从内部改变华盛顿,只能从外部改变。
这位前州长表示,他能够也将会改变华盛顿,并且是从内部改变。按照他的话来说,“共和党和民主党将同心协力”。
