why should it matter what the guy does? I'm talking about everyone being treated equal, no matter what they do.

Yes, Why should it be different? the guy paying more isn't even using government services...


My point is that if people were treated equal, there would be no %, it would be $X per year...

Edit: as an example, people making over $250K a year pay an extra tax for Obama care, ummm..... they are not even the ones that need it....
