""There are so many individuals that post here that want increases in taxes. Do you voluntarily pay higher rates? You have that option you know... I didn't think so...(s)""

Those wanting higher taxes are those that are paying little or no taxes now. They want higher taxes as long as it is someone else paying them. At present the top 1% of earners in the US pay 33% of the taxes, the top 5% of earners pay over 50% of the taxes. This according to the latest figures from the IRS. Included in the 5% are single proprietorships and small businessmen whom have put there entire wealth in creating jobs for others as well as themselves.
