Wait a minute Comrade; the big lie that your rulers have you spewing is "NO FAIR, THE RICH PAY LESS PERCENT IN TOTAL TAXES."
Since most of those taxes are fixed or capped, then it is the same situation. Social Security, which you of the left have claimed for decades is a government managed retirement plan, and not a tax, is fixed at $106K, due to that being the max for benefit payout.
So if the logic (sorry, I know that isn't something you are comfortable with) is that all should pay the same percentage of income to government, regardless of other factors, then why would you not demand that all pay the same percentage of income for a burger?
Q: "Why should earned income be taxed at a higher rate than market income?"
is
This nation was founded by men who sought a just and equitable system of government. One thing they recognized is that direct taxation is immoral, thus we prohibited it in the constitution.
The answer is, neither earned nor investment income should be taxed at all. The concept of taking from the earnings of others is theft. Taxation must be conducted on transactions and completely blind; or fraud and favoritism will be engaged in.
Obama is manipulating the stupid, by leveraging the greed and envy inherent in human nature. He fans your greed and envy, creating hatred, which he uses to gain fanatical support from the low brow fodder that make for his followers.
A: "Obama is a Communist"
You truly are a moron, do you know that?
If I were a moron, I would support Obama.
