Doesn't matter. If I earn the money to buy a yacht by busting my ass, then I want a yacht, not to pay some lamewad's High-speed internet bill.
Taxing at the the same percentage across the board is FAIR. Our current system punishes the successful.
Gunny, lets face it, those in the lower incomes are working their butts off, in fact, you will find those in the upper tax brackets actually work much less hard. Ever try cleaning up sh*t off of old people? It pays about minimum wage. I don't think any CEO in any company making all those $million is working nearly as hard as that CNA in that nursing home.
When I was working for United Airlines in reservations, I used to say with perfect honesty that I could do the CEOs job for two weeks and no one would notice a difference but he couldn't do my job for 5 minutes without people noticing a problem.
In truth, the lower paid you are the HARDER you work.
Our income gap is abominable in this country. No one should be making 500 to 1000 times more than their workers, ever. They don't EARN that money, no one EARNS that much money.
