I guess it comes down to your viewpoint. I like the mUn33z , but I only need so much and I think it should be the responsibility of everybody to help out one another rather than continuing this "ME ME ME!!!11111" cycle. I will pay X percent, if you will pay X percnet. I make Y percent more than you and I expect to pay Y percent more taxes.

Can I have a HUZZAH for the equality of percentages???

Yes, I completely agree that everyone should want to help each other out, and when I am rich I would not care to be filthy rich. The fact is I have done more for charity then most people that make $100,000 a year, and yet I am a broke ass college student barely getting by (for now).

And my point was less concerned with the filthy rich. As you said, you can take half away from them and they are still filthy rich.

My point is more towards the people who are just well off, say the average college graduate that gets a good job in his or her field. The people that make $40,000 to around $200,000. People that worked hard to get to where they are (ok, sometimes not!) and deserve rewards for all the work they did, but it is taken away because of a flat tax.

To avoid fighting, you just make one constant, flat percentage.

No, to avoid fighting, you just make one constant dollar amount per person per year. Unfortunately that would not work, as it would take billions and billions away in tax income that the “rich” are paying.

But you still danced around the issue.

How it is supposed to work, one person now matter how much they make should get the same equal rights, privileges and representation as someone who makes less. Why should someone have to pay 10X+++ times someone else for equal rights? That is the problem I have, and it is a HUGE freakin problem. If you can say that because someone makes more via working their asses off or having it handed to them, they should have to pay more money for equal rights, how in the freak does that even approach fair? Please explain that to me?
