So here is the thing.
- Yes I chose to have a family.
- Yes I choose to live here.
- NO I am not asking for anyone to subsidize my family.
I want the people that make the most to be taxed the most. I want the people that make less to be taxed less. If that means that anyone making less than $200k pay less than what they are paying now in federal taxes/state taxes great. Why you ask? Well those that actually work, those making less than $200k per year keep this country moving and cannot afford to be subsidizing the rich. Everyone talks about subsidies and not wanting to support the other. Well the door swings both ways. I do not want to support the rich. In my opinion,them. They have been getting rich off the sweat off my back for too many years. I want to see some big shot actually do a hard days work.
Lets end the disparity of wages. If a big shot Exec. Officer at some company only makes 25% to 35% more than the highest paid employee in the company and that includes severance packages, golden parachutes, bonuses etc..., I guarantee you that that company will take better care of its people in the form of wages. Wages go up, tax revenue goes up, spending and saving go up, everyone is happy.
T-Ram - I was almost offended by your initial comment. I take hand outs from no one. I earn my way, the hard way. I pay my dues and teach my kids the same. No one in this life gives you anything without them wanting it paid back at a higher interest.
