re: I'm even fine with a progressive tax system, but I'd prefer a system where they only tax every dollar you make above $50K or so, and only at a flat rate. (Or maybe one rate for all the money between $50K and $150K, and then another rate for all the money above $150K.) No divisions, just a smooth curve. That doesn't sound like "no division... a smooth curve" to me? Am I missing something?

Ted, do you want the whole country to maneuver around your life style or mine for that matter? Looking at the Hollywood elite, as well as the filthy-rich liberals who can truly afford to "sacrifice more," I wonder just whose lifestyles this country has to maneuver around. That's exactly my point but I don't understand why you make it partisan. Why do you ignore the wealthy GOP who could care less about your financial well being and DO want the country to maneuver around their lifestyles? That's why they elected George "tax cuts" Bush. At least some of the rich liberals make the appearance of not wanting to pig out at the trough. Not so the rich GOP..........they want to pig out and pig out without any sanctions. And they can afford to have attorneys watch out for their financial interests......while most Americans like myself can't. For me, this is not about class warfare but about everyone carrying their fair share load. Bush's tax cuts are a lot of horse puckey that's unfair to the poorer members of this country and has helped grow our budget deficits. Its time to do the right thing and roll back those tax cuts. The GOP wants to make war in Iraq; then let them help pay for it. ted
