What would be the rationale for this?

thebabe1

so...you want everyone/entity that has more money than you to pay higher taxes? So, at what point do we say..."ok, you make too much, you should pay more"...and who, pray tell, will decide this?Let me guess...liberal, right?

thetimbosley

No. That is a step backwards.

I don't want my taxes to go up, but if they did by a couple percent, I would gladly pay it to do my part to help get out of this debt with China, rebuild our infrastructure, and get our economy going.I think it needs to weighed carefully and fairly based on local cost of living standards to net income before determining palatable increases.But yes, we can't keep fighting a war without being able to pay for it...There are no free lunches right? So why does everyone feel like THEY shouldn't be the ones to sacrifice or give anything up.
