Since these $hitHeads are so Globally Minded, how about making the not so wealthy by American Standards, but damn rich by global standards pay their fair share?
EVERYONE should pay an income tax - smaller percentages for smaller wages, larger percentages for larger ones.
Say - 5% up to $10K, 10% from $10K to $30K, 15% from $30K to $60K, 20% thereafter.
Here was my post from this morning on the earlier thread:
I thought for SURE this was going to be one of those semi-news/semi-satire articles!
Hmmm. I think that the poorest of Americans are infinitely better off than the rest of the world’s poor. And the rich are, well pretty well off no matter where they live. So really, it is the poor that should be REALLY grateful that they have the privilege of being an American - so I think that they should be taxed more.
Hmmmm. And could even add an even higher tax onto poor folks that have immigrated here from other countries.
Hmmm. And folks descended from slaves. If their relatives had ended up in S. America or elsewhere they no doubt would not have survived long enough to have descendants. They should REALLY be grateful for the privilege to being an American and pay more in taxes.
Okay - my satire rant is off. How about ALL of us pay a bit less and expect a bit less from the feds?
