Why wouldn't they simply renew the cuts for all but the top %? You mean they wouldn't leave well enough alone? It is about fairness. If you want a progressive system then my cheeseburger should cost $2 and your cheeseburger schould cost $6. My house should cost $250K and your house, exactly the same and right next door to mine, should cost $2M. And, the car I paid $20K for should cost you $100K. You have the money and you can afford to pay more for these things so you should. Just take all the money over what I pay as a tax. Just think when you go to the grocery store there are no prices on items. But, when you get to the checkout counter and all of your items have been scanned, you enter your SSN, and the computer figures out what you can afford to pay and charges you that amount. Dildo-brain. Have you read any of the reports that show the wealthy gaining ground while the middle and lower income groups are losing ground? Is that what you'd call fair? |

Dildo-brain. Have you read any of the reports that show the wealthy gaining ground while the middle and lower income groups are losing ground? Is that what you'd call fair? Individual income over $250000 should be federally taxed at a rate of 49%. For couples who file jointly, if one of the pair has income over $250,000, there should be a surtax that taxes *that* income over $250,000 at the 49% rate. You don't like the idea of graduated tax? Something like over 250K 49% over 200K 45% over 150K 40% over 100K 35% over 90K 30% over 80K 25% over 70K 20% over 60K 15% over 50K 10% over 40K 5% over 30K 4% over 20K 3% over 10K 2% over 5K 1% 0 to 5K .5% No deductions, no credits, no exemptions. Wouldn't that be more fair? |
