My reasoning seems valid if you are 6 feet tall and chop 10% of your height at the feet you have stumps below the knee. If your four feet tall chop off 10% you are still below the knee. Proportion may not seem fair when someone makes 10 times more than someone else. And some folks on the low end will work harder in one year than some rich folks their whole lives. But the tax code so favors the rich now with investment loop holes that proportional equity has to be much better than what we got.

I make more than 250K. Every time my taxes go up I lay off one more person. I have laid off three now. I am laying off another one next week. My life stays the same: fuck you.

@MrROTD are u stupid. if someone has 10 mill and they take 5 mill, ur saying they wouldnt miss it? how stupid can u get. that is half their money gone.and are u suffering? i bet ur not. maybe u shud take a trip to sri lanka, see how it is there..maybe if u weren't a looser in school u could be one of us rich folks

[MrROTD]

@fluttervalve Rich people that act like victims are assholes, if I had 10 million dollars and half was taken for the good of everyone then how much do I suffer? not much. Take half of my money now and I'm on the street, big difference. All the rich can kiss my ass, you are not going to suffer like low income or middle class, tax laws ensure that . fuck off with the "earned" it BS, most rich people didnt earn it, they manipulated money at everyone elses expense, jerk!!!

[MrROTD]

Yes tax the rich, do you think that someone with say 10 million dollars would really miss 5 million of it? would they really suffer?. The main arguament of Rich people is that they pay most of the tax, well no shit, you have most of the money you jack asses. The real problem is the federal reserve, they have devalued your money so badly, abolish it and even the poor will be better off and you can tax more fairly.

Hang your head in shame...

If the rich would just go to real capitalist countries. And enterpreneer over there, then socialist countries would suffer. They suffer already from it. And they deserve it. I also don't care if people in communist counties are poor, really I don't.

@chance1234asdf I love rich people. To find money where it is (namely from the rich), is just wrong. They have the right to live their lives with all the benefits of their labor, success and position. That's a part of liberty. I live in Europe, Belgium. Very socialist. People pay up to 70%. I study engineering, because I hear engineers are needed. And I'm not gonna stay in this shithole. Maybe I come to the USA, but if Obama goes a little to far, I will be somewhere in Asia.
