**Please Narrew, make a case for why we should only be focusing on income tax here.**

Because when people say the tax cut that Bush passed supposedly benefited the rich, that tax break was on the INCOME tax side, which was across the board, so DUGH (not aimed at you Teal, it's the people that plays the class envy card), the rich are going to get a break since they pay proportionally more of the income tax bucket.

Its all politics and rhetoric, I just hate the blanket liberal mantra "Tax breaks only help the rich". What you say is true on all the "OTHER" tax's, but can you even imagine anyone attacking them? I don't think any politician on either side would care to tackle that. SS and Medicare taxes are split between you and your employer, now we could make the employer pay 100%, but that may look good, but it is still coming out of all our pockets, the employer will factor that in your wages and pass it along to the consumer (no matter how long that chain will be).

I agree with you that all them other tax's hurt, but I dont see anything that will change. Will we have another Boston Tea party? I don't know that answer. I still think that progressive tax rates are punishment, but as you say how can we even out things *shrug*.

I just thought about trying to lower property tax's here in Washington state, I don't see it happening.

Whats the answer? heck if I know, I think we are allready to far down the socialist slope to make changes.
