Show Large families are paying their fair share Dear Editor. , I really had a good chuckle over Mr. Sihith's letter last week. He failed to see that large families do pay their fair share of tdxes. Because I have a large family, I .. buy more clothes, more food and a ..- lot more consumer goods find scr- - vices. Thus I pay more sales tax than he does. Because I have to buy a bigger car, which costs more, I pay more property tax each year. It" takes more gas to run a large car, than a small one, I pay more gas tax. I have to have a larger home for . -my family, thus I pay more property tax. We have to have a larger salary to pay for our large family; thus we pay more federal, state and most of all Social Security tax. 4-And I am raising the future workers of society, 1 which as a whole, is ? shrinking each year. These future workers are the future Social Security tax payers, who will be paying the Social Security checks of those .who complain about paying the taxes for theser future workers' education. Sounds like a pretty good investment to me. - their futures and your future. ' V KaHee Graham . West Bountiful - |
