ORIGINAL: MrRodgers No, Americans are not entitled to eat. Only the profitable get to eat and for yes...bringing in a profit. Now for those who make many times more than you make and pay 1/2 the tax rate you do, they...just eat better. Rate... did you say rate? See no one cares about that. They just think that the rich must pay waaaaaayyyyyyyyy more money than we do so as Americans, we should cut them some slack. I mean, most people think like that, don't they? Well first, the problem with those that try to defend the rate, use the percentage of all taxes paid as a ruse to suggest that the say top 5% are paying more then they should. Ask yourself how it is that people paying at 1/2 the highest rate, end up paying more in total taxes than you or me ? It's because they make so many more million$ than we do, that's how. (Dir. of IMF "95% of ALL new wealth since 2008, has gone to the top 1%") First of all, nobody pays more than they should. Everybody tries to take advantage of the tax code however they see fit. Then the top 1% with all of those million$ in free speech in the bank, now have a much louder voice. They get the rates they pay for. We don't have that kind of influence, not enough free speech...in the bank.
