Congress decides what the tax rate should be for different levels of income. They also approve any tax refunds even though the President may recommend it or ask for it. Congress approves all appropriations. You determine how much taxes you owe by filling out the personal tax forms.

What are the characteristic of a tax?

1) Equity- Taxes should be fair, and certain taxes should be given to taxpayers with similar characteristics. Could be on ability to pay. Example: Height tax is unfair.2) Non-Distortionary- Taxes should not affect economic behavior. For example, they should not be so high that they discourage people from working.3) Certainty- People and firms should know when a tax should be paid (and how much). Taxes should be stable, so that people and firms can plan their finances.4) Convenience- It must be simple and easy for people and firms to pay their taxes on a regular basis. For example, income taxes are collected by employers on a monthly basis from the salaries of the workers.5) Simplicity- Taxes should be simple to understand. If they are too complicated, calculating the tax owed might be difficult.6) Administrative Efficiency- Taxes should be cheap (and easy) to collect. There is no point in introducing a tax that costs more to collect than it generates in revenue.

Why do you think the president should lower the taxes?

This is definitely a debatable question! Many people think that the president should lower taxes because some people are paying too much while others are finding ways to avoid taxes. In theory this is true. However, if he does lower taxes who will pay for the things we need in our country? Taxes definitely have a purpose regardless of how the money is raised. One solution that I agree with is lowering or deleting income taxes and raising the state sales taxes. This would give the same amount of money to the government but would force people such as illegal immigrants and drug dealers to pay the same amount of taxes as other members in our society.
