Answer 2

I did know about this and I (like Reagan) have no problem with the idea of the "rich" paying their fair share. The question, however, is what is a "fair share"? Is it that everyone should have the same rate? That is much more in line with what Reagan wanted. The problem has always been the "loopholes", of which hardly anyone can define or identify, are difficult to close because, like the rest of the IRC, too many people from all political perspectives have an ox that would get gored. That is why presidents always talk so much on adjusting the tax rates. It is much less politically radioactive. What is a fair share? According to the IRS Statistics of Income for 2009, the latest year posted, those with an adjsuted gross income over $100k, or the "rich", pay about half of all income taxes even though they account for only about 15% of the total number of returns filed. And do not bother with the whole story of the rich get investment income, since capital gains income is taxed at a lower rate. Truth is, about the same percentage of rich get their income from wages and salaries as the poor. Look up the statisitics if you do not believe me. A fair share would, in my mind, mean that people pay a flat, across the board tax. It will never happen, though, because the tax code is no longer about raising revenue. It is, and has been for some time, all about social engineering.
