Who should we expect to pay most of out taxes?
Should it be the 1% who control 34.6% of our wealth
or the 40% who control 2 tenths of a percent of our wealth?
They don't control OUR wealth, they control their own wealth just like you do. Who should we expect to pay the most? How about everybody pay equally? Nah, that wouldn't work for Democrats because Democrats tell people they will give them things and send the bill to the wealthy. After all, who would vote against free stuff for them at other peoples expense?
The issue is national policy
WHY do we continue to enact public policy that helps the wealthy maintain and gain wealth when they obviously don't need it and it hasn't delivered the "trickle down" effects that were promised?
Who are you to judge who needs what? I'm sure there are ghetto people that think you have too much and don't need anything else. Should we take things from you because that's the way they feel?
What public policy to you speak of that "helps" the wealthy? The wealthy doesn't need the government to create profit. They need government to stay out of their lives to create profit.
