The society I want to live in provides a good public education, good military defense, good roads and other public services. These things don't come cheap. I've gotten many benefits from this society why shouldn't I pay more? Why should the middle and working class be taxed beyond their means. This is what WILL happen if the rich and upper middle get more breaks.

Well what would make it fair would be major corporations stop getting tax breaks when they outsource jobs, If companies truly paid their fair share of taxes the burden would not be so great on the american people.

This the Rich get the tax brakes is political BS. It is proven that tax cuts increase tax revenues and help the low and middle class because there are more and better paying Jobs made available. Most pore people pay little or no tax. I pay more for health insurance then federal tax.

The rich does NOT get any more tax breaks than the middle class or the poor PERCENTAGE WISE. 3 percent of 1000 dollars is less than 3 percent of 10,000 dollars but they are both 3 percent.

huh? I want a little bit of what you've been smoking. who said that pooring tons of money to a problem like education guarantees success? who said that our understaffed and poorly supplied soldiers are a good defense. I think that you need to ask for a receipt for where the money has gone and how was it spent. The military budget is probably the first thing that they cut and the education system has fallen behind the European and Asian countries who operates on less money. I think that you need to ask a better question.

If you want to pay more taxes, go right ahead. The IRS accepts voluntary payments. You are wrong on the remainder of your statement.
The so-called poor do not pay federal income tax. The bottom 50% of wage earners pay about 3% of the taxes collected by the IRS. If tax rates are lowered, and a person does not pay taxes to begin with, it should not matter to him what the tax rates are.
The top three percent of income earners pay about 50% of the taxes collected by the IRS.
The "middle and working class" are not taxed beyond their means. To my knowledge, no one is talking about a further lowering of tax rates. You are complaining about something that is not going to happen.
Doom and gloom gets out of hand from time to time. Enjoy the benefits of our society.

Ok, if you are saying you are rich, what are you doing with your money? Spending it i bet. Which fuels others. This is the tax belief that goes behind cutting taxes for the richer, it is also because the rich pay so much taxes anyways. Also, if the rich are taxed even more, the govt. is punishing you for being rich, is that even the american way?
