If you were in business and were greedy you might try to charge 10.00 for a hamburger. If you do so your sales will be minimal and you may very well fail. If you were to charge 3.00 for the hamburger you might sell zillions and with a 1.50 profit per hamburger become rich. At 10.00 because of lack of volume you go broke. In my opinion, the democrats want to tax like the 10.00 hamburger. The Republicans know the bottom line will be better because of enterprising people if the people are taxed like that 3.00 hamburger. More volume equals more dollars than less volume with larger dollars. Ask any successful person. You can price yourself out of the market and go broke. There is a balance.

Oh, give me a break, right. Why not cut taxes to zero and we can all live happily ever after? The question is not whether you or I get more money in our pockets, but whether we continue to live in a society that enables us to put more money in our pockets. Ironically, as proven during the Reagan years, lower tax percentages can provide a clear road to insolvency, a monster national debt, and a slowing economy. Ironically, as proven during the Clinton years, a "huge" tax increase on those who benefit most from society led to a collapse of the economy, cats and dogs sleeping together, and a monster budget deficit. Not.
