Huum, lets see..they pay more for taxes on an absolute amount and % right now....I don't think they should pay more. We have one of the highest tax rates for corporations today....so no more there as well....Got me, ...given close to 40-45% of people don't pay income taxes so I am not sure what services these folks are paing for? Perhaps the rich should lobby to change policies that would improve the economy for all, lowered corp tax rates, incentives to repatriate money back to the US, lobby to up our non renewable energy production.
