I really don't see the problem there, the rich are covering more than their fair share; they have worked hard for what they have, I say let them keep it.

Think about this.

It has been proven that a flat income tax of 10-20% across the board for everybody in the USA would do away with the deficit, put more money in your pocket, and make the economy take off like wild fire. Just because they say the rich pay 45% doesn't mean they really do. Can you say "tax shelters?". They have more loop-holes and ways to get out of paying than you could ever imagin.

I don't expect the rich to pay more than me, just their fare share. And that should be even across the board based on percentages. Trust me, 20% of someone who makes 10 million a year can go alot further than 20% of someone who make 15 thousand a year. And who would be hurt worse finacially and make it hard to survive on a day to day basis?
