So that's a "yes"?
Yes, everyone should pay their fair share.
Do you oppose that?

P.S. - still waiting on that link.
The income tax is a tax on income, not on people.
No liberal supports raising taxes on the poor. We support lowering taxes on the poor, and raising taxes on the rich.
From "Inequality.org"...thanks.
It's from "Business Insider"
Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1% | Society | Vanity FairI t’s no use pretending that what has obviously happened has not in fact happened. The upper 1 percent of Americans are now taking in nearly a quarter of the nation’s income every year. In terms of wealth rather than income, the top 1 percent control 40 percent. Their lot in life has improved considerably. Twenty-five years ago, the corresponding figures were 12 percent and 33 percent.

Half of America already pays nothing. No income tax whatsoever.
How much lower would you like it?
Rick Perry: Middle Income Americans Don't Pay Enough Income Taxes - ForbesIve been blissfully off the grid for the past few days, cycling in Western New York. (Allegany State Park is absolutely gorgeous. Made me be glad to be paying taxes in New York State.) I could forget about the debt ceiling fiasco, 9 percent unemployment, the tea party, runaway health spending, global warming, the NBA lockout
But back in the real world, I learn from newly minted GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry whats wrong with Americathat middle income Americans dont pay enough taxes. Really.
I'm sure the denizens of this board will agree with him completely, what with him being a Republican and all.
You will half to explain to me the fairness in half the country paying for the other half.
I'm not rich, not born to wealth.
My grandfathers were a coal miner and a subsistence farmer.
My Dad was a high school principal.
I am a truck driver...I joined the Army, did my time, learned a skill, used my VA small business loan to buy my first truck and through hard work and the grace of God, I have a few trucks and a few great employees and make a comfortable living.
And I pay my fair share.
Now explain why 50% of Americans should get a pass, while demanding that I pay more.
I'll wait.

Perry says that people should pay taxes and the left whines. Buffet says the same thing about the same people and they cheer.

Thanks for the link Art. This one has some data I can sink my teeth into.
But that really has nothing to do with a thread on income tax.
What ever income the wealth make is taxed at the highest rate.
And 50% of the country pays nothing, but demand that everyone else pay more.
And Obama isn't talking about taxing billionaires, or multi-millionaires...the liberals want to tax people and small businesses that make $250,000.
Are they the 1%ers?HELL NO.
So all the wealth crap is bullshit.
A red herring.
How is that fair.
We put the question to the Tax Policy Center, which has a computer model of the tax system similar to the ones used by the Treasury Department and Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation.
For simplicity, we’ll just focus on the over-$250,000 group. Those reporting adjusted gross income of more than $250,000 to the IRS are projected to make up 2 percent of households next year, when the new president will take office. Those folks will earn 24.1 percent of all income, and pay 43.6 percent of all personal federal income taxes, the Tax Policy Center figures. Under either Obama or Clinton, they might pay even more.

Taxes need to be raised across the board.
Not just on the poor or the wealthy. On everyone.

How much lower would you like it?
Everyone who works pays payroll taxes. Payroll taxes bring in ~ 40% of all federal tax revenue - about the same as income taxes. People who work pay 15% of the first dollar they make in social security taxes. People who make over $100K, on the other hand, pay 0% on income over that amount. How about we tax income over $100k one or two percent, and use it to lower the tax burden on the working poor?
