>> I'm sorry you aren't aware what a progressive tax is. I don't think I'll be needing an explanation of that. However, I would like it if you would address my question. If you raise taxes, which is what Obama wants to do, how does it help the ordinary American. Keeping in mind that almost half are either not paying income taxes or actually receiving refundable credits (i.e., tax refunds when they paid none in to begin with), what is it you're doing? Taking money from those who earned it and giving more to those who didn't? I'm sorry, but when it comes to tax matters I'm pretty much analytical in my thinking. I understand you couldn't analyze your way out of a paper bag. But I would like to hear a somewhat feasible rendition of how you think raising taxes on the people who earned their livings is going to help the others?
