Well, personally I feel proud paying the salary of the veterans who fight and die for our freedoms. I feel proud knowing my taxes are going to pay for their medical care they received after protecting me from those who would do me harm. Thank me next time you wake up in a free america with people standing guard with guns you did nothing to contribute to instead of whine about welfare on the internet. You generate wealth while a soldier dies in the dirt for you who you do nothing for unless you feel like it.
Doncha know, a lot of people believe that those who work for minimum wage should not even THINK about entertainment or dating. Some of them are even the same people who lament the decline of marriage.
Don't you know many middle class American's have 30%+ federal tax rates.
But millionaire/billionaire CEO's have 11%-17% federal tax rates.
(And all of the above money would have been added to our deficits/national debt, and it would have financed the building of more US factories in Asia.)
The CEO's who control Fox news and Rush radio have you attacking the full time American workers who stock our grocery shelves, clean our public bathrooms, and prepare our fast food that we love so much.
I look forward to your response, when you repeat the Fox news lies, and come out fighting to keep the CEO's tax rates lower than middle class Americans.

Chad.
There are different kinds of income.
BTW....how much income tax did the Obamas pay in 2013???....Their tax papers have just been released.
left-leaning individuals on this board have been clear that taxes on wealth need to be established
Hmmm... 10% tax per year on wealth, and in a few decades, you've stripped main street America of some of their most basic wealth assets... their homes and retirement accounts.
Are you sure that's what you want to do? Force everyone to eventually relinquish all individually held wealth to the government?
Romney's effective federal income tax rate was a little over 14%, TWICE the effective rate the middle class pays.
Quote:
"Mitt Romney made $13.7 million last year and paid $1.94 million in federal income taxes, giving him an effective tax rate of 14.1%, his campaign said Friday."

The majority of Americans have already relinquished all their wealth to corporations. At least the government lets them vote!
