Az Republicans find new ways to aid the rich and screw the middle class (Pelosi, Obama)

[freefall]

If Arizona shifts to a one-size-fits-all income tax, it would raise taxes for 88 percent of Arizona filers while cutting them for the 12 percent with a taxable income of more than $100,000 a year, a legislative analysis shows.

Arizona flat income tax a hike for many

I wonder how many in AZ pay nothing as it is. Or how many live there that shouldn't even be in the country.

Where can I sign the recall petition on Pearce and Frau Blucher

IMO, everything is cyclic. Right now, we may be on a trend that favors the rich. It will ultimately lead to pitch and fork time.

Is Obama going to do another big bailout of the extremely rich?

The little people are going to be paying for the Obama-Pelosi-Frank bailouts for many decades to come.

But since 15% of $250k is much more than 15% of $30k....the rich will pay many times more money. You realize that, right?

They don't care. They are only concerned about the %.

Honestly? I'm not sure they're able to comprehend it.

Because the rich have earned their money and the rest of us lazy heathens aren't worthy to lick the dirt off their expensive shoes.

And the poor people utilize how much of the tax dollars compared to the rich?

What has happened to this country? This redistribution of wealth from people who make money to poor people is wrong.....

What is the sense of working hard and getting ahead in life when the progressives want to take what you earn and turn it over to the poor?

A flat tax with no exemptions for anyone is fair, this proposed law is not that.
