    Why is it that it's suddenly BAD for people who make MORE money to pay MORE taxes?

    I mean, the alternative is people with LESS money pay MORE taxes, right? It's the loopholes that rich people exploit to pay less taxes, because they can afford excellent accountants. I'm not sure tax rates matter to that extent...

    • I'm sorry but I completely disagree with you. You're assuming that gov NEEDS a certain amount of money.tommyo
    • And they achieve that amount of money by exploiting the few (rich) by energizing the many (not rich). It's still stealing.tommyo
    • So then are you contending that the govt DOESN'T need a certain amount of money, even if it's only a fraction of what they currently want?locustsloth
    • currently want?locustsloth
    • They're getting exactly the amount that they currently want. Notice again, has any candidate proposed smaller gov?tommyo
    • The rich people PAY more taxes than you do buddy. I strive to be rich! I don't want to pay the same %. Get it?

    • What do you do when you don't have enough money to eat steak? You eat chicken. Our gov doesn't eat chicken folks.tommyo
    • It eats f*cking Filet Mignon is what it does.

    • Besides, what does it matter to you if the rich are rich? Gov taxes further class envy with this exact argument.tommyo
    • how is taxing the poor more and the rich less, not redistribution of wealth?DrBombay
    • I'm not saying that at all Rick. Did you know that without any Income Tax our gov would be spending the same amount ...tommyo
    • they did in 97. That's 0 income tax from anyone.tommyo
    • Imagine our economy and personal wealth without paying 20 - 30 percent on our income.tommyo
    • imagine the raging ghettos and crime.DrBombay
    • So you are a subscriber to government generated fear then? Just not the ones the Rep's propagandize.tommyo
    • What makes you think that if our gov spends less, and we all pay less, that the poor are going to be poorer?tommyo
    • Do you really think that the government is helping the poor now? This diagram is pre and post welfare system: http://upload.wikime…tommyo

    • That's all you've got Rick?tommyo
    • cutting social programs isnt going to help anything as far as crime goes.DrBombay
