I'm all for fairness in the tax code. Can you explain how me paying 39.6% is fair compared to those paying less as a percentage of income? If I am making more, I am paying more (even if I payed at their rate). ~SB~

"supposedly confiscatory level of 39.6 percent" Supposedly? That is almost half of what one works for and does not consider sales, property, vehicle registration or state tax. It is a free country and there are plenty of people like yourself that feel good about someone else paying their way. But that view ain't what makes me proud to be American. Since you feel that nobody has actually ever EARNED anything I can see why you are comfortable taking it away.
