Yeah but the tax is supposed to be progressive which would mean the greatest burden would be placed on those able to pay and on whom the least pain would be inflicted. However due to the Republicans passing the Alternative Minimum Tax bill we now have the priviledge of paying the same tax as someone with twice the income.
I have no problem paying an income tax except the wealthy skate by with tax incentives and by shifting their income to dividend status.
If they paid their fair share then taxes would not be so bad. But then they could not own five ten million dollar homes.
Don't tell me how they earned it they should have it. Read Eric Barbour's essay in Vacume Tube Valley about how the rich screw the rest of us. It's a good one.
How come you terminated the Iraq discussion?
