Just making the point that taxes are necessary. They just shouldn't hinder the well-being of the individual being taxed.



The wealthy are NOT being taxed at high rates. In fact, many want higher taxes for themselves.

Now lets not get off topic about property taxing. Which means you don't own it, like the Constitution says you do.

So you don't enjoy having interstates and a military designed to defend and protect the country?

And these millionaires can't bring it to send all that extra money burning a hole in their pockets to the US Treasury without a "tax bill" to justify it ?

Anyone can send money to the USTreasury to "reduce the debt".
No one is stopping them from contributing "their fair share" if they feel they are so under-taxed.

Your missing the point.


What they effectively are saying is that their tax burden is not too high.


Why increase taxes on the middle and lower class when even greater revenues could be obtained elsewhere? The Middle and Lower classes are pivotal in feuling the economy because of their sheer numbers.

At least you can sleep well knowing that most of the people you're whining about paid more money in taxes this year that you'll ever earn in your entire life.

Are you forgetting about the gas tax ?
