Oooooooooo, I gots another brain fart!

Now, wouldn't taxing the people who net $250,000 and up squelch peoples wanting to make that much money? It's almost like being forced to stay in a certain income bracket. Is that fair??

Exactly Mel. The problem with the "spread the wealth" mindset is that once it's spread there is no incentive to work hard and succeed. Abraham Lincoln wrote that the Upper Class is necessary to give the working class something to aspire to.
This sliding tax scale does nothing but punish people for studying hard in school, working thier butts off and becoming successful.
I keep coming back to it, the top 5% of wage earners already pay 60% of the taxes collected! Why? Because, like Charlie says, they can afford it. It's not fair & equal but that doesn't matter. They've got it and I want it, but I'm not going to work like they did to get it.

Mrs. Barlow, I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron. "SHUT UP HUB!"

Ok, here's another scenerio....

We've got a deadbeat out here who has not worked at anything all year, but comes to me and says he/she has a business. I file a tax return for this jerk (and yes, some I've actually turned in for fraud because I know they're lying). They claim two kids (according to tax laws NOW, they don't even have to be THEIR kids) and fall into the "right" category for the MAX amount of Earned Income Credit.

Not only does this pay SS on them, but they get a refund that real TAXPAYERS are paying for when they haven't done a damn thing to EARN it.

Oh and the ones I've turned in and others have turned in - what's been done by the FRAUD dept of the IRS -- to date - Not a DAMN thing!

Until we FIX the problems we have with the PRESENT tax laws we sure don't need any MORE screwing up what's already broken!!!

Hugs BD
