This still goes back to the question, why punish the ones that make money by taking it away? Equal take rates would make the system cheaper and force the government to perform an internal audit of spending instead of throwing it around like ticker tape
THE QUESTION IS YOU, NOT YOUR PARENTS.
From Porce's sig:
The answer for me is Obama, so I'm voting for him. The tax rate for anyone richer than me is something I will never ever care about and I'll never have any sympathy for anyone making more money than me in financial matters.
