In this country the ignorant have a standard of living that surpasses the intelligent of the world. In the US a person with an IQ of 80 eats meat three times a day has running water medical care and an enviable standard of life when judged by the rest of the world. A PHD in Russia will most likely not have running water or meat daily. The glass ceiling in Russia for a PHD woman is the ceiling she looks at when having sex if she is lucky enough to have a good body. My point. The money in the hands of the rich of this country is good. I ask you who better to have the money BIll Gates or the government ? If you think that the money should be in the hands of the government than I suggest you look at those countries that practice that philosophy.

200,000 in taxes gets a 17% tax break he gets back $34,000 So what is your point. Guy paying 200k in taxes ought to get some back. That is absurd regardless of how much he makes IMO. Guy paying 200 per year must only be earning 5k per year and ought to consider getting a full time job.

OH! So the way you'd like it, the guy who pays $200 get backs $34,000 and and the guy who pays $34,000 gets back $200? Did I get it right?

>>Zoltan in the higher order of the gods of the universe it stands for the greatest idiot, my math is perfect and your stupidity shines bright. IF a guy who pays $200,000 in taxes gets a 17% tax break he gets back $34,000. If a guy who pays $200 in taxes gets 33% tax break he pays $66. Now oh bright idiot tell me again where my math is wrong. And please call me some stupid names as your intelligence indicates Yes, you are too stupid to adequately express. You know nothing, including math. A 17% tax cut equaling $34,000 for a $200,000 income would only work if that person were in a 100% tax bracket. You tool. A person going from @40% rate to @33 rate is @ a 17% cut. Using a $200,000 income that is $14,000, not $34,000. So, you are only off by about 240% - good for you.
