Calling it the Fair Rule is a lie.
They are paying their fair share now. By definition, their fair share is the amount set by law that they need to pay. If they didnt pay that, they would be in jail.
How about we just lower taxes to a flat tax below 10%? That way everyone pays their fair share and none is over taxed.
Very few corporations pay much in taxes, and wages, which are taxed at a higher rate, come from the same net income as capital gain.
So if wages and capital gain have already been taxed, IT IS STILL UNFAIR FOR THE IDLE RICH TO BE TAXED AT A LOWER RATE THAN PEOPLE WHO WORK.
They aren't. Continually lying about it isn't going to somehow make it true.
And if that was the problem, the logical solution would be to cut the taxes of the people who work not rise the taxes of the so called rich.
