do i think the rich should pay all the tax - NO - EVERYONE should pay their fair allotment according to what they can afford. Do i think that one should pay as little as possible - YES - only a fool would pay more than they have to.
THINK ABOUT THIS - you wouldn't BE WEALTHY if it wasn't for your govenment.
Do I think that someone with a million dollar income should pay less income tax than a teacher or a nurse?
NOW I think that's FUCKED UP.

The fact you are missing is that a school teacher, after deductions, etc. pays 10% in taxes or less.
Someone who makes over a million is paying in excess of 40%, and then even more after their state whacks them.
Fair?
Flat Tax or consumption based tax is all we are asking for. On top of the possibility of the government pissing through every dime they get and running us into budget overruns year after year. Most of their spending is not even allowed under the constitution.
