NounSingular taxpayer Plural taxpayers taxpayer (plural taxpayers)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. To tax (from the latin taxare: to estimate, which in turn is from tangere: to touch) is to impose a financial charge or other levy upon a taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by a state or the functional equivalent of a state. Taxes are also imposed by many subnational entities. Taxes consist of direct tax or indirect tax, and may be paid in money or as its labour equivalent (often but not always unpaid). A tax may be defined as a "pecuniary burden laid upon individuals or property to support the government […] a payment exacted by legislative authority." A tax "is not a voluntary payment or donation, but an enforced contribution, exacted pursuant to legislative authority" and is "any contribution imposed by government […] whether under the name of toll, tribute, tallage, gabel, impost, duty, custom, excise, subsidy, aid, supply, or other name." In modern taxation systems, taxes are levied in money, but in-kind and corvée taxation are characteristic of traditional or pre-capitalist states and their functional equivalents. The method of taxation and the government expenditure of taxes raised is often highly debated in politics and economics. Tax collection is performed by a government agency such as Canada Revenue Agency, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States, or Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the UK. When taxes are not fully paid, civil penalties (such as fines or forfeiture) or criminal penalties (such as incarceration) may be imposed on the non-paying entity or individual.

GNU Free Documentation License Why is the American taxpayer expected to sponser every illegal alien who sneaks into America? Q. The American taxpayer has kids to send to college, buy expensive health insurance and pay exorbitant property taxes and the middle class finds itself squeezed each year. The illegal mexican get free schooling, free medical and does not pay high property taxes. The money comes out of our pockets and is not grown on the tree by the federal government. Americans must rise up and stop this unjust system. Asked by wilie l - Mon Sep 24 19:38:57 2007 - - 21 Answers - 0 Comments A. Because those who benefit have yet to pay for it. As long as we continue to be the most productive workforce on earth (GAO; Automation keeps U.S. Workers Ahead of World), the leeches will do what they do, slowly bankrupting this nation. I call for "A Month Without a Citizen" - no airports, no seaports, no schools, no hospitals, no banks, no water, NOTHING till we get an amendment guaranteeing the citizen the powers of veto and revocation of citizenship (only in cases of birthright citizenship to children born of two aliens). Each lower house district has 100 voters, randomly selected. A 60% vote of that 100 = ONE VOTE. With 75% of districts in agreement, any item of any bill leaving Capitol Hill would be automatically vetoed, leaving… [cont.] Answered by serenely, soMEone - Mon Sep 24 20:04:09 2007 Why do illegals streaming in from Mexico think the American taxpayer should support them?

Taxes are still taken out of their paychecks and those taxes pay for everything that you just mentioned. They also pay for social security that they will never see. Do you really think that Mexican=bum? You sound like a bigot. Are you a bigot? Nationalist? Racist? Stupid? Immigrants (legal and illegal) are 40% less likely to collect welfare than the average American. Why aren't you whining about welfare altogether? Welfare is the problem, not immigrants. Let me also assure you, if all the illegals were gone, taxes would not be lowered. The government would just find another way to spend our money. Answered by Cold Hard Fact - Mon Oct 29 08:38:35 2007 Does the current Stimulus plan call for payments directly to the taxpayer like the last one did?
Q. The last one had $300 going to qualifying taxpayer plus monies for spouse & children if any. That was actually helpful at least to my family. From what I have heard of the new one it seems to be going to states for highway programs etc with a percentage for job creation. That's good as a long term solution but will take awhile to trickle down to my level Asked by Celt6 - Mon Jan 26 13:28:18 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. No, it does not include govt checks going out to individuals. According to the NY Times, the stimulus plan seeks to include an income tax cut for most Americans earning less than $200,000 (or $150,000 or $75,000...the number keeps changing) a year. Under the plan, individuals would receive up to $500 and families up to $1,000 through a cut in payroll taxes on the first $8,100 in income. The money would be delivered through paychecks as a reduction in Social Security withholdings, and is intended to bolster consumer spending by giving a small lift to household pocketbooks. The plan is still under debate in D.C. Hope this helps!
