I just want to bring everyones attention to historical tax rates for all classes shifts and how the rich have to advantage. Historically, taxes on the rich have been substantially higher than they are now. Check them out: http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=213
There is absolutely no reason why taxes on the rich can not go back to what they have been in the 1960's or even during FDR's time at 95 %. The rich took advantage of weak politicians so much so that tax breaks are usually aimed at the rich now a days. However taxes on the middle class and some poor have risen to compound the two wars that we are in the devastating economy. Do you think that this is fair?
Sure as hell don't!!! So here is my question what is in your opinion the appropriate taxes for everyone? Poor:2 % Lower Middle Class 10% Middle Class 12% Upper Middle Class 15% Rich 75% Super Rich 85%. Sounds fair to me!
Also please specify in your chants: Over my dead body you are raising my taxes!! Tax the rich!!! Politicians are manipulative SOB's be careful how you say things. Trust me.
Ok flat tax the rich 30% no loopholes no deductions. Find off shore accounts and tax them 5 % if they bring back their money to the US no tax for investment and savings. The middle class and the poor can still have the same income tax system with deductions. Sounds about right.
