"If we lower the tax burden for the richest of the rich, then the middle class will have to pick up the slack, because it will still cost X amount of money to run the government" Why do you feel the middle class should not pay it's share of the tax burden? If the bottom 50% of ALL Americans pays only 4% of the taxes, how big is the burden on them iyo? Should they pay 0%? Should they be paid for the privelege of living in America? Why do they DESERVE a free ride? As I have said many times, insulting the people who pay the bills is a bad strategy. Looking at what made them a success is a good one. Insisting they pay ALL of the taxes is un-American.
