Just because they worked harder and sacrificed more...

That's one problem. In this country, you don't have to work hard or sacrifice anything. Most of the time, if you have the right connections, you can have whatever you want. I don't care how much taxes the richest 5% pay, they couldn still buy the moon and more...
If it was that easy, everyone would be making millions and billions of dollars every year.

Who are you to say who has worked hard to earn they're way. If they had connections so be it. They worked to get those connections. They made their fortunes happen. To say they can buy the moon, what the hell does that have to do with anything? They earned all of their money. Why should they be forced to pay for those who do not want to work? If they want to give charity then that is their own choice to make. Hense freedom and choice. Not forced charity otherwise known as socialism.

Who said anything about socialism?
People that don't work aren't the people that should get tax breaks. Neither should the filthy rich. The hard working class should. There are people that work 10 times harder than these rich snobs and they'll never see half a million dollars, let alone billions. If anything, the rich shouldn't be getting any breaks with the amount of money they make. That's not socialist, it's the right thing to do. People with that kind of money have no business complaining. I'd like to see some of them get by with even $100,000 a year!

To say the rich don't deserve what they got is absolute bullshit.
Originally posted by Cousin Vinnie
I didn't say that. I said that the rich have no business complaining about taxes. They are greedy themselves (many times more in fact) if they complain about taxes when they have so much money, they don't know what to do with it.
This is just a plain difference between Democrats and Republicans.

And the difference between Dems and Reps is that dems think if you make 100k your rich and therefore you owe 60% of your salary to the gov.

There's no proof behind that statement at all. The larger part of the controversy is just that the rich get the taxs breaks, not that they should give all their money up.

Its not namecalling, just calling it as I see it. There is a clear difference from what the national guard during the Vietnam War, it was a way to get out of fighting, which rich kids like Bush used. Now, if you join the nat'l guard, you have a very good chance of going to war.

Percentage wise, Americans should pay the same amount of taxes whether you make 10k or 10 million.
