Heres an idea why not make those who own 50% of the countrys wealth pay 50% of the taxes?
The top 50% already pays 90% of the taxes now idiot!

You wanted fair.....Make them pay their fair share of taxes.
They already pay more than their fair share! A single man with no children who makes $250,000 will end up over $100,000 grand in taxes, but a janitor with 6 kids making 25 grand pays nothing? Maybe even qualifies for EITC, and you want the guy who uses nearly no government services other than the highway to pay more? Fair would be a regressive tax structure, not progressive with a yearly bonus for underachievers.
So you think the poor can kick in more instead?

Document your claim
the class war is being waged by the wealthy on the rest of us

Because wealth is often not liquid, it's tied up in things like houses.
Do you want old retired people on fixed incomes to lose their homes because they don't have the cash to pay a FEDERAL PROPERTY TAX (cuz that's what you are suggesting)?
Bullshit.
they are not the top 5% and you know it
Fewer and fewer Americans hold all the wealth in this country and fools still vote for more of it.
When will the right leaning voters wake up?
Make them pay their fair share of taxes.

Looks like TM has bailed on her own thread.
What does Obama say (or is doing) about this?Because of the housing bust, home equity as a percent of home value fell from 59.5% in the first quarter of 2006 to
36.2% in the fourth quarter of 2009. For the first time on record, the percent of home value that homeowners own
outright dropped below 50%meaning that banks now own more of the nations housing stock than people do.
Banks got bailed out and then got more property in the deal.
Average tax payers got hosed and the right thinks we need more hosing.
TM and Wry Catcher are objecting to the fact that a normal distribution of talents and luck compounded over 40-50 years leads to a logarithmic distribution of wealth? What do they want cloning?
