I'm watching a documentary on the French Revolution, and it brought up the very well known fact that in the decades before the bloody event the wealthiest nobles were paying virtually nothing while the middle classes and below were paying ridiculously high taxes. In America at the moment, guys like Mitt Romney are paying around 15 percent and guys like me (a very middle class Soldier) and probably you are paying near 30 percent. Come on my Republican brethren, isn't it about time to double the taxes of the wealthiest Americans so we can return to some semblance of economic normalcy?

Isn't it about time to make sure everyone has some skin in the game? How can those who contribute nothing expect to have a voice in how the country is run in the form of a vote?

There are different kinds of income.
Romney's tax rate is no difference than yours......if you have income from investments.
But, unless you are completely brain dead you knew that.

Isn't it about time to tax the rich at a higher rate?
