There is no reason though for those who have financial means to pay more taxes.

BTW, how do you define "Wealthy"?

OBTW: luxery (as in cars) is spelled LUXURY And vactions is spelled VACATIONS

If you are going to write a post semi-critical of those who have financial means, it might make a better impression if you correctly spelled the words of the things you are critical of.

I'll spell it out for you if I must.

The USA gets a lot of it's money from plundering the resources of third world countries. Lots of other countries do this besides the USA, it's common practice, so I can't single out the USA on this one.

The USA also invades countries for profit. That's where we stand out from most other countries. We are constantly involved in a pointless war for profit. Iraq, Afghanistan, next we will certainly invade another country.

I'm not saying this is wrong. I'm just saying it's true. I do think it's disgusting to war to war and bring death for profit, but realistically I think almost any country would do the same if it had the chance.

Who gives a crap about spelling? Do you understand what i'm saying? Yes? That's good enough......

This is an internet forum, not a newspaper.

Besides, look at who i'm talking to here.... the responses are not exactly intelligent or worthy.

Are you going to try to give us all YOUR definition of the word WEALTHY?

OK, this is such half-baked lunatic rambling that I don't even know to respond. In fact I'm not sure anyone who thinks the invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan has actually improved our fiscal outlook, or that it's remotely plausible that we're going to invade China, can even be reasoned with. It's an interesting window into your thought processes though, haphazard as they may be.

You are too stupid to follow what I am saying apparently. I'm not speaking rocket science here. And this time all of my words were spelled properly, so what's the problem kid? You don't want to respond to my message so you attack the messenger. Brilliant.

Should I say it for the 3rd time? Ok I will.

I'm talking about people with incomes of 10 million or more. The multi millionares.

This conversation is retarded and at a third grade level. Adios.

The problem is, your message is so incoherent that there's nothing substantive to respond to.

Well, I'll apologize for not seeing all of your previous posts. Hence why I did not see the two previous times you say you mentioned the 10 million income.

Thank you for your definition though. I have asked the same / similar question of many others and the range of answers is amazing - all the way from $500,000 to 100,000,000. Quite a few responses have been in the $25,000,000 range.

This said, I'll maintain that the wealthy is already paying their share of taxes - and should not be taxed any higher simply because of their income. Penalizing one simply because they make more than someone else is blatant discrimination and will stifle the desire to be profitable.

I also believe it is very rude to call another poster "stupid". I reported it to the moderators.
