yes, 20010 top individual rate was 16.5%, during bush it was as low as 14.2%

yes, if EVERYONE is working under the same rules, paying the same amount toward taxes, the markets would seek equilibrium and prices would rise and fall based on market forces and not "subsidies" and manipulations by the government.

You do not pay anywhere NEAR the total price of goods and services in the country.

How expensive are things paid for with our 50% tax rate?
Very.

Problem is, this 50% tax rate of your doesn't exist. the EFFECTIVE tax rates are much lower than you'd imagine. See my link in other post.

Yeap, let's go back to the days of no taxes. FYI, in those good olde dayz fire departments were called "fire companies", because that is what they were, COMPANIES. If you bought fire "insurance" from a fire company they would put out the fire. If you didn't kiss that house good bye...

Teabaggers, careful what you ask for, smaller government has its consequences.

What a radical idea, people who pay for a service get it, those who don't pay for it, don't get it. I wonder if police response time would improve for those who pay for the service compared to what it is now? I bet it would.

I think the upper 53% of Americans should not pay any taxes.
