Which guy pays the most? And why should one guy pay 10, 20, 50, 100, etc., times more than the other for THE EXACT SAME access to government services and benefits?
Jealousy. They don't want fair, they want to punish those with more than them. It's the politics of envy.
Press is quoted as saying "at least" three GOP senators will go public this afternoon saying they will not support the bill. If that happens, the bill will be dead, we will have the ACA, and the pressure will resume for the orange one to reinstate the funding which he has slowly pulled to make the plan look less adequate than it really is.
Mitch McConnell saying he doesn't care if it passes or fails. He wants debate over. (And probably doesn't want to go home and try to explain why the bill cuts off health care for millions of people while giving the wealthy a HUGE tax cut).
HUGE difference between the two in what they pay for THE EXACT SAME THING: Fed Gov, though the tax rate is exactly the same.
Except the guy making 5 mill still has 4.5 mill left over and would not feel the tax while the guy who makes 50K only has 45K.
Tell me who does the guy making 5 Mill need to continue making that nice bank. He needs a whole bunch of those making 50K to be able to buy what ever he makes or sells. So if he paid double that amount he would still walk away with 4 mil. and if those making less then 50K pay less he would make 6 mill the next year.

That, and from what I've read here on city-data, a LOT of people simply don't understand basic math. We're talking grade school math. They don't understand that even when two people pay the same tax rate, the one who earns more pays more in taxes.

Simple those making the most do not feel the issue as those making less.
