[Atrocities]

I am a firm believer that your tax rate should be based upon a percentage of your income. The more you make the more you pay. The less you make the less you pay. Right now the lower income people, me, pay 90% of the nations tax while rick SOB's like Bill Gates and such pay less in tax than a coctail waitress. (Predeiums, right offs, expenses, etc)

The rich always complain that people are trying to take their money away, well to them I say walk a meter in my shoes and see how the RICK steal from us.

No I would support any legislation that would make the rich pay more because it is only fair. Think of it this way...

A person earning 25k a year (Poverty level) pays 30% of that income into Federal income tax. They also pay sales, property, auto, and tax on just about everything else they buy. so the true tax rate is closer to 32% of their income.)

A person earning 250k a year pays 2.5% in tax.

The rich get to keep a greater percentage of their income while the greater percentage of the poors wages are taken in tax. This means the poor are burdoned with a greater tax than the rich and no matter how hard they work, they can never get ahead.

The rich get richer and the poor poorer. And the truly sad thing is NO ONE wants to do anything about it because those who have the power to change the rules are the rich.

So we poor slaves of economic unviable are condemed to rot our lives away slaving in a dead end job with no real hope of ever truly being economically able to aford our financial freedom.

While the Rich go play golf and yache around the world, we will continue to get up at 5 a.m. and drive to our dead end low paying jobs where we will work until we are too old to do so and then be forced to retire and live on a scrap of change every month because the money we spent a life time saving is worthless having been out paced by infalation and economic costs.

No I would not shed one tear for those rich SOB's. Make them PAY the Tax after all it has historically been the poor who have died in this countries wars and who's blood has throughout history paid the morgage on their way of life.
