As far as how much you earn vs. paying in taxes, I'd happily give you DIRECTLY what I've paid in taxes equal to your income since I pay almost double that already and that's just my salary, there's still my wife's.

But as a percentage of income who pays more.... that's the point. I just see that the poor are paying more of what they cannot afford in taxes while the rich pay less and Bush cuts so they'll pay less..... and those cuts get passed onto states where their tax systems (sales taxes, property taxes, etc), and taxes on phones and other items where the poor end up paying more of a percentage.
It's wrong. The everyone should pay the same percentage.
In my perfect world we'd cut all "hidden and visible taxes" set a solid percentage rate on the income of every business and worker and tax that solely, with no deductions or loopholes... unless the worker or company make under a certain amout of money.
I think that would give the freedom the right claim they want and I believe if the right percentage was found it would alleviate the deficit within a short amount of time.
The cry that this would make people want to make less is B.S. I can't think of anyone that wants to make less money.... that is a hollow and stupid argument.
