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?

There are loop-holes available to everyone no matter what your yearly earnings are, it is just a matter if you are either 1) smart enough to find them/figure them out, or 2) rich enough to pay someone to do #1 for you. A flat 10-20% income tax across the board would work out quite well, unfortunately for all of us there are millions of people who make no income other than the checks that arrive on the 1st and/or 3rd of each month basically throwing that idea out the window. Like CVD always say, it is not the governments responsibility to get you a job...i know the democrats won't like hearing this, but take responsibility for yourself!
