Your idea of fair is to literally take what someone has worked hard for and belongs to one man and give to another less ethically inclined man based on some outdated government theory. It is obvious that liberals would rather continue the failed policies of reward for non-productivity. Note: We are strictly talking about those who are ABLE to work here stock leader. This is socialism whether you want to believe it or not. And don't put words in my mouth......I do not and never have advocated that the so called rich not pay their FAIR share of taxes. It really all comes down to what fair is. It really is too bad stock leader, but calling others insane and nuts won't change the facts that I outlined in my earlier post. Playing the typical liberal divide Americans game doesn't cut it any more you see. Americans don't want to be divided, they want a unified country in which they can feel safe and agree upon a sensible fiscal policy. I am not surprised that instead of giving us a picture of your perfect world you lash out and disparage anyone with an idea other than the one you advocate. Actually though, it is rather typical, and not unexpected. Fiscal responsibility will happen in all quarters, not just government. Change is coming and everything will be questioned and discussed. People will not sit still for old, outdated ideas any longer so get used to it. One more question please: What is your definition of "rich taxpayer?" If you don't have an answer perhaps in the mean time you could share with us your vision of fair taxation for all American taxpayers? Do you have ANYTHING to say about that or did you just set up for the GRUB? M BTW Did you know that many of our congressional representatives..republican and democrat alike... don't pay ordinary income tax because they derive their incomes from other sources? That they don't have regular jobs because they became wealthy in American, and don't need to work any longer? That their congressional pay is just pocket change that they NEVER count on? Yes.......like inherited wealth, corporate wealth, and outrageous law suits by used to be Trial Lawyers who now want to be our President. LOL These are the guys that DON'T pay income tax but tell you and me what we will pay.
