That's above my pay grade. All I know is you take a look at the debt, spending, budgets, infrastructure needs, wars, and you see how much money you need to take in. Republicans say tax the poor and middle class and poor more not them even though the current tax scheme is making the rich richer than ever. So you look at your budget and you see you need to raise someones taxes, or roll back some tax breaks that should have never been made permanent. Because we need the money and that money goes towards shrinking that wealth gap and increasing the quality of life for the poor and middle class. Programs like SS and medicare or medicaid.
Anyways, if the rich have won the battle in your mind, that they already pay too much and we should pay even less taxes than now, you're not being serious about a balanced budget or worrying about the debt. When we are all working and doing better, only a small few cry about taxes. I remember the guys in the 90's crying about the taxes they were paying on all that money they were making. Today they wish they would have saved more. They weren't over taxed. They over spent. I saved my money.
