Okay...now this sounds kinda dumb to me.
The argument about "the rich use more of the commons" you are saying that means that they employ people and buy goods (labor and resources)?
Isn't that a GOOD thing? And for that..everybody thinks that they should not only pay more in actual dollars (MUCH more...even with a flat tax)...but people think that the percentage should be progressive so that they are paying far more than they should ever pay?
I don't get it guys. I just wasn't raised that way I guess. I see the world a bit differently than y'all do. And no, I'm not attacking anybody. I'm just saying that in my world view....EVERYBODY would contribute equally to society. And yes...we would all help the people who needed a "safety net".
The govt. is just simply out of control with spending in my opinion.
And the arguments in favor or our progressive tax rates are just plain out nuts to me.
Can you imagine, for instance, a strip club where one of the girls hustles harder and is just plain out better than the other girls...so she makes more tips. But at the end of the night the club would punish her by forcing her to give more money on her payout?
Bitches would revolt in the strip clubs! LOL
