People paying more in taxes are not sacraficing or having trouble making ends meet with their basic bills. Did they give up vacations to pay that tax bill? Did they give up other luxuries?
The average american family makes $56K a year. Savings has dwindled among the middle income brackets? Why.. because they are treading water to pay for the roof over their head and their other neccesities. They are slowly slipping into the "poor" category.
ONce you hit a certain income level you have expendable income that allows your money to grow and your wealth to grow... and that is awesome. So you can meet your tax obligation, put the food on the table and still have expendable income.
Middle income families are treading water.
Again.. it's NOT about the dollar amount.. it's about the burden.
I don't hear anyone in the top brackets willing to lower their bracket simly because they are paying more in taxes? I would gladly be in the top brackets even if that means I'm paying more money to the government.. because in the end, I'd be living much better than the middle and of course the poor, I'd have expendable income for other investment options, I would also be able to use that expendable income to shelter some of my income.. and again.. I could have money making me money because all of it wouldn't be coming in one hand and going immediately out the other just to get by.
I'm not trying to say what you are saying is not true.. BUT.. I would gladly trade being in the middle tax bracket to being in the upper tax brackets any day. I would be happy to be paying that tax because it would mean I'd have much more than I did when i was barely scraping by at the lower bracket.. do you know what I mean?
THANK you. They know what you mean. Bottom line: They don't care.
You're funny. The only people "stealing" anything are the people who pay the most taxes. And most of them pay less tax than I do. They have the loopholes. I don't.
Keep them on the attack, they'll most certainly bow down to your needs and you'll most certainly have your way. No jobs, no rich people and no hope. Not hope and plenty of change you can believe in.
I suppose it has nothing at all to due with the BURDEN of work needed to create that wealth...
It is a myth that people who make the most money work the hardest. Sometimes, some of the hardest working people make the least. Salary is NOT a good measure of a person's contribution to society, their worth ..etc.

???? What? This makes no sense. The people who are stealing are the ones who pay most of the taxes??? LOL OK so just how much do you think these horrible "rich" people should pay? All of the taxes?
I highly DOUBT that these people pay less then you. If they are paying less than you then you are in the top earners and then it means YOU are paying even more then these people who you say are paying "most" of the taxes. Your post makes no sense unless you like to contradict yourself.
I'm in the top tax bracket, and even after the AMT, I'm paying about 20 cents per dollar of AGI in income tax. You think I'm overtaxed at that level? You think I'd shrivel up and die if it went to 23 cents or 24? What a bunch of dreamers...

Have you sent your 3% extra to the government? If not, your a hypocrite for demanding others to do so..
