Explain to me how requiring the rich to pay less taxes is a subsidy to them? Personally, I think it is shameful how we are exploting the rich and using class warfare to justify it. Even with Bush's plan, many people with kids will end up RECEIVING money from the government instead of paying income tax. A family of 4 with two kids that makes 40k a year will pay almost no income tax. The top 50% of those in the US pay almost all of the income tax. (See
