the biggest scam in the tax code - are the low tax rates on unearned income. theresa heinz kerry and the walmart heirs can sit back and collect interest, none of it is subjected to payroll taxes for example. that's how americans with permanent wealth in the US get their money, through unearned and passive income sources. we tax traditional wages too much in the US, and unearned and passive income too little.

Please consider what you are saying. If you have never studied finance or the markets then I would suggest to enroll in a night course on business finance. The statement you made is non rational. You are proposing that the looters taxed everything higher. Do you think they will ever lower the tax rates? Republicans did a slight refund. Democrats will never lower taxes.

Exactly, oceanview....exactly....

I know I am in the minority here but why should my wages be taxed more than the gains from stocks?....
