[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, SAHMs are all for it. No more fines for blowing through traffic cameras in their big SUVs on the way to drop off at private schools. Income: $0.[/quote]

That might come as news to their tax accountants.

Points for morning misogyny, though, I guess.[/quote]

But it does raise the question of how joint filers would be treated.  Would you be fine based on your spouse's income?  Oh, this is perfection.

Oh, what if you are a dependent?  What about teens without jobs?[/quote]

This is called implementation. Every law requires implementation. You can ask similar questions about every law. And yet here we are, in a society, with laws. How can this be possible? It's so complicated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]

It is complicated, so people proposing these things should think through the complications.  And yet you aren't.  [/quote]

That's what legislators have legislative staff for. I am not a legislator, and I am not legislative staff. First question: should fines from automated enforcement be based on income? Answer: Yes. (Except your answer is: No.) Next question: how should this be implemented?[/quote]

You clearly don’t know the first thing about taxes or income. Maybe you should listen to people who actually know something about this who are telling you it is a completely ridiculous, un-implementable proposal.[/quote]

All I know is that my party proposed the idea and I fully back it. Vote Blue no matter who, what , why or where. /s[/quote]
