In reply to:


We need a damn FLAT tax in this country. Just because someone makes 6+ figures doesn't mean they deserve to be taxed at a higher rate. Furthermore, if you want to whine about how the *rich* tax evade behind deductions and such, well a flat tax would end all of that.



People who make excessive incomes do so at the expense of others. CEO's work just as hard as middle management and your average cubicle worker. This is part of capitalism and is 100% acceptable. But, these people are also part of a community and are members of a democracy and they should give back to the community from which they take so much from.


On that note, it is my belief that taxes are too high for everyone. The less money the goverment has the less opportunity they have to waste it. E.G. Going to mars and going to war(needlessly) is preventable by giving the government less money.
