Basically, what I mean is that a higher amount of tax is stripped away from higher money makers. The percentage stays the same for everyone, but the amount of dollar changes between people. Like lets say the Iraq War Tax is a fixed percentage at 5% for every American citizen's gross annual pay. The tax is mandatory for every American citizen. Even the president of the United States. So John Doe makes 30,000 gross each year and dishes out 5% for the mandatory war tax. Which equals to $1500. Which However, Mr. Bill Gates who probably makes 10,000,000,000 gross a year, dishes out $500,000,000. No one escapes it everyone is equal. Now I ask people to engage in this. Doesn't this seem right. Wont this help cut the gap between the rich and middle class? It may sound a little communist, but come on who doesn't want to be equal. Being better is not fair. Anyone have anything to say about this type of tax system?
