I am just suggesting they quit trying to avoid paying taxes.The revenue collected from the rich is important. It funds most of our government. I mean shit, the top 1% own 40% of the nation's wealth. Why shouldn't they pay the most?Apparently they think the government should pay for all the services it offers them. Highways be damned!
I think it's safe to say. The wealthy should be taxed the most not because it is what's fair, but because it's what's the most realistic. That is where the main source of our government funding comes from (regardless of whether or not the president in charge is over spending). Even if you don't agree with that logic, you should at least agree the greed that keeps wealthy people from paying taxes is flat out wrong.
Why are you being a whiny little bitch and calling people who follow the tax law greedy? I bet you take all the deductions allowed.
As you said, the wealthy already pay the lion's share, so what are you suggesting? You want them to pay all of it?
I think we need to get rid of the Federal Reserve and crony capitalism. It's the dirty relationship between Washington and Wall Street behind most of our problems. They are the reason for the 1% running the country.
