Yes, but it seems the top 2% think everybody should make do with less except THEM! They want the middle class to suck it up and do with even less. Well, guess what, if the middle class get even less they will have no extra money to buy anything. So these businesses will be out of business because nobody will have money to buy their wares.

The costs of collecting taxes from the homeless would far outweigh the amount collected. I still contend that there are some in this country that can't find anymore ways to cut back.

 


 


I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure

Like I said before I am not about the 250k group, so I wouldn't be doing anything different.

So, everyone in the Us can get by with less? Yet I am seeing the top2% complaining with having to go from 35% tax to 39% tax? that's an extra 4%. FOUR percent! how can somone working paycheck to paycheck save 25%?

But again, just like many focus on the concept of "charity" when discussing taxes rates for lower income employees, we also can't get caught up in "fairness"either.

But things aren't that good in other countries either right now. Yes, business tax is lower, but other tax is higher. The money to run a country has to come from somewhere. Germany it will cost several thousand dollars to get a drivers license. BUT, you can get a free college education, free healthcare. Maybe people complaining about our tax should really seriously check out what other countries really do pay and also what they get in return for the tax.


That's just it, we pay a lot in tax and don't get anything for it!
