Taxes for Rich.

While I am sure it doesn't represent the views of all superwealthy Americans:

It's been mentioned before that that figure is somewhat misleading. From my understanding that "40%" figure includes everyone, even children and disabled people that are not capable of contributing.

I hope you're trolling.

They tried that in the USSR between 1922 and 1991.

People should not be able to obtain mansions, just imagine how many people could live in a structure like that. Every American should have the same sized room, in a housing complex.

No American should have more than one car, unless it's used for a greater good. There is no reason someone needs two vehicles.

Ownership of gold, and other fine metals needs to be illegal. Not having faith in our dollar, should be treason.

All transactions of goods, needs to be used in the form of our national currency. Trading services or goods should be a federal crime.

Anyone who participates in a athletic activity, needs to pay a fine for their unnecessary contribution of carbon dioxide

Oh the middle class is definitely getting shafted, dry.

Poor don't pay taxes, but suck up money. And the rich have the money to hire good accountants, or put their money in off shore accounts.

There is a reason DHS, is monitoring the middle class heavily. You can only piss on someone for so long.

Most of the rich have no income technically, so that is how they get away without paying income tax.  They have assets.  When they need money they sell these assets and pay a capitol (sp?) gains tax.  That is roughly around 15%.  Now there are several libs out there that are for upping the cap gains tax just so the rich will pay more of their "fair share".  Now, if I was rich as all get out and they raise the cap gains tax to oh, say 40%, do you think I'm going to be selling any assets?  Hell no.  I'll sit on them.  I wouldn't be the only one either.  So much for getting extra income from the rich.

I missed the FAIL stamp. 

I've heard the rich should "Pay their fair share". I just cant understand how paying 35% when someone else pays 10% is Fair. Then again I don't understand how people that don't pay taxes get tax returns either.
