Mary, Remember what Leona Helmsly once told her maid. The truly rich have ways not to pay taxes. Only poor people pay taxes. If your follow through with this logic, the tax cut to the wealthy doesn't really matter, since they are not paying any taxes anyway. Believe it or not, there are people more in need of help to level the playing field than the 1% wealthiest in this country. Two things. 1. You may be part of this 1%, because this 1% is not based on wealth, but on income levels. Income tax is there to prevent people who are not wealthy from becoming wealthy. The people who are already wealthy derive most of their income from sources (capital gains, interest, rents, royalties) not W2 wages. 2. You didn't answer Paul's question why you thing the tax relief should follow Marxist idea of "To each according to his need, from each according to his ability" Joe
