re: #663 NC Gray

I agree-

so what-

No one is talking about the other taxes just that the ‘rich’ don’t pay enough income taxes.

I don’t like regressive taxes! Tobacco, alcohol, or sales…

But, that does not mean that we get ahead in society by punitively taxing people who are either high skill or have the ability to build and lead (as though that is not a skill). The possessive’s care deeply about our illegal immigrants but it is the ‘rich’ who employee these folks- If we want more then we need at least on a percentage basis more ‘rich’.

Also I fail to see why we should fall down on our knees and worship the rich when so many of them have only gotten that way through inheritance.

I’ll respect Bill Gates, and similar people who made their fortunes but those who got where they are through hand me downs… why should they have a right to keep so much of what fortune gave them, what did they do to earn it?

I support a higher “death tax” for that reason.

It wouldn’t don’t punish those who do well, just force their offspring to step it up.
