So the fat cat pays, to finish your example, $166,000 and the poor slob pays $134. That's actual cash, isn't it?

>>How about a plan that gets the same amount of cash to all tax payers, now that's fair, everyone gets the same amount of money how about it!!!!!!!! That would be the opposite of fairness, in fact the Bush plan gives a far greater proportion to the lesser taxpayers than they fairly deserve. But I know you Dems want tax cuts for people who don't pay taxes. Especially billionaire tax fugitives like Rich who secretly fund their criminal conspiracy.

>>Yeah and 17% of $200,000 equals $34,000 tax cut and 33% of $200 equals $66 bucks. Real fair the poor slob gets $66 back and the fat cat gets back $34,000. It's amazing how people with money use numbers that have no relevance to actual cash when they compute benefits. Hey screwball, what's amazing is how illiterate you Dems have to be to be Dems. You can't do math so you make it up. "17% of 200,000 equals 34,000 tax cut". No dopey, that's not it. The highest get a 17% cut in their existing tax rate, not a rebate of 17% of their income. Under your current illiteracy, the "rich" - not Marc Rich - would have to paying at a 100% rate to achieve your results. Of course, implicit in any Dem's view of government is the belief that all income belongs to them and that anything another person keeps is a "tax expenditure". So yours is a natural mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. (Only billionaire Dem contributors get a 100% tax cut under Dems). Could you be more stupid? A rhetorical question only, the answer is known.

It's fair because anything he gets back belongs to the guy who worked his ass off to earn $200,000. The slob who didn't has no moral claim to a dime of that $200,000. What is it about private property that you don't understand? And why do you get offended when you get called a communist? . Real fair the poor slob gets $66 back and the fat cat gets back $34,000.
