<<If they are using social security to pay for defense, someone in Washington is breaking the rules, aren't they?>> Are you really this ignorant about your own government's finances? <<And how does your point relate to the others feeling that 36% is not enough of the Fed tax bill for the top 1%.>> If we had a flat income tax, the top 1% would pay as much in taxes as they take in income. So if they earn 36% of the income, they should pay 36% of the taxes. That would be a true flat tax. So you're saying a flat tax would be too high, that the top one percent should have a lower rate than the middle class. I think it should go by wealth. The top 1% own about 40% of the nation's wealth, they should pay 40% of the federal taxes. But they don't. They pay less especially when you consider payroll taxes which, since you don't seem to know, go directly in to the general fund. Steve Dietrich
