we have a graduated tax system for a reason. this was the policy put in place a long time to equate to fairness. look at when the top tax rate was 91%. we paid for the interstate highway system and saw a huge amount of wealth created. look at what happened under Clinton. the GOP claimed raising the top tax rate would cripple job creation, when in fact is created millions of jobs and the wealthy made more money as well.fair share would equate to the percentage of my income that i pay to taxes. why should someone who makes millions per year pay a lower percentage of their income to taxes than someone who make less than $100k? those making less than $100k put the majority of their income back into the economy which stimulates it and creates growth and job opportunities. the same can not be said for the top 2%.The top 10% of earners pay 70% of the taxes, Joe.
Can you define 'fair share'?
rebuttal?
Why should someone who makes 250K pay a higher percentage?
Everyone should pay the same percentage of their income no matter its source to the government
