    Could be, but really I just want a flat tax. The rich should be paying at least the same rate as the poor. To have it the other way around is theft from those who need it most

      The "rich" pay the overwhelming majority of the taxes which keep the country running.

      They also make the overwhelming majority of the money, so that's perfectly fair. What they have left after taxes could buy the remaining 49% many times over. They still pay a lower tax rate than the middle class, which shouldn't be happening.

        It's not about taking all their money. It's about Warren Buffet paying a tax rate at least as high as his salary.

        Not to mention all the federally-funded corporate bailouts over the last 15 years. They're stealing from the poor to pay the rich. It's a fact.
