Now lets say someone else makes 400k he would pay $108855.77 or 28% of his income to the tax man.
Now to the liberal Lenny's of the world who hate success, this is perfectly logical. Once the the highest rate = the lowest rate, I would agree taxes should be cut across the board but until then, there is NOTHING wrong with giving those of us propping up the rest of you, a tax break.
the entire idea of paying a % of your income is offensive to me. why should someone pay 108k for the same services old Lenny2 gets for 10k?
When you go to the supermarket to buy food, do I pay 50.00 for a steak while lenny pays 5.00 just because I make 10 times as much? of course not.
Lenny, I'll wait for you to distort more facts.

If you were travelling with a woman and a child, and there was a bunch of stuff you needed to take along, would you mind carrying more than them just because you are stronger and thus can carry more, or would you insist on the woman and the child carrying just as much as you?
