GET IT FROM THOSE WHO CAN GIVE IT
Increase Taxes on the rich. They can afford it. They live privileged and carefree lives. They luxuriate in their great wealth and are disproportionately able to enjoy the fruits of a free America. And they do so while the average citizen works long hours, prays that he keeps his job and that his old car keeps running, worries about finding money to pay the dentist and has to live paycheck to paycheck. We have no royalty in America, but the rich, the fortunate few, live like we do. They can only be rich and live regal lives because America is free. And we are a free nation--not because of the piddling contributions made by the rich--but because of the enormous sacrifice that was made by poor and middle-class families who saved America in WW II and kept our nation free from subjugation by the Nazis.
Why is this important?
Get what? Revenue to run our country. Increase Taxes on the income of those who have a surplus.Think of the situation as though it were a blood drive, and pretend we had an America where every citizen cared about every other. Good citizens who had a surplus of healthy blood would happily donate some of their blood to fellow citizens who were desperately in need of blood. The sick and anemic would not be pressed to give blood. Neither should the struggling poor in America be forced to give a disproportionate portion of their meagre income to support the counry. It is outrageous that our corrupt tax laws force the poor to be taxed at a much higher rate than the enormously wealthy.
