I find this topic very interesting. One of the only political topics I've chosen to comment on. I wanted to ask a question to some of you though. I'm currently in that top 1%, so I suppose I could be listed with the "rich". Can anyone explain to me why I should pay more taxes than anyone else? Because I can afford it? Sorry, but I don't feel the same sense of duty that some of you hold to "share the wealth". I'm by no means a heartless bastard, I consistently give to our church and support local charities. I find ways to help the under priviledged, and I don't think taking more of my income via higher taxation is acceptable.
