"I suggest increased taxes but not on the same base. Raise the threshold from the $88,000 up to $150,000 or maybe instead of just socking it to wager and salary earners, apply the $88K to income from all sources including capital gains." Good ideas! Why should any one form of income be favored by the government over others? Why should the government get away with saying that --- if I sit down and trade stocks all day for a living --- that my work is inherently 'more valuable' to society then that of some guy who works at Wallmart for a living, or digs ditches, or is a Policemen? ALL INCOME SHOULD BE TAXED AT THE SAME RATE, regardless of source. The government should not try to 'pick winners'. (Another good idea: roll all the government retirement plans into SS too. Lets ALL be in the same boat.)
