I wonder, if you would feel the same way, if someday you yourself became rich.
If I became rich, say, I made 1 million dollars a year, I should have the piss taxed out of me. No person needs a tax break when they make 1 million plus a year. Tax rates for the rich should be at a minimum the same as an individual who makes 80k a year (for example). In addition, the rich should be taxed for all moneys made, not just so-called moneys that they decide to deem payroll, while leaving the rest to some untaxable, or less taxable state. Money is money, and should be treated as such, no matter where they put it, or what they call it.
The rich have had their tax breaks extended by President Barack Hussein Obama, tell me, where are the jobs? Where are all of these jobs that Republicans claim would come from the rich being taxed less? Someone answers that burning question without a bunch of political rhetoric BS I will buy you a ten dollar cigar.
I should add that most individuals on here are at best middle class...at least the individuals which I have met at BBQ's, and such. Why individuals would vote against their economic well-being eludes me...why individuals would support the rich paying half the taxes you pay, hell, even less than half the taxes you pay, eludes me. But to each his/her own. You support a system that coddles the rich, then go for it. I will continue supporting the piss being taxed out of the rich.
