Ok. I will continue on for you as in my first post. I also said to add a little for the indigent and poor. Right? Lets set that at a limit also. 2, 3, or 4 percent ought to take care of that along with you/me paying for our own insurance.
Still with me?

Lets go to the next step where I said after the 100k the rate goes a little bit more. Say 5 percent more tops. So that means what ever you make above 100k there is an extra 5 percent. Still following? That would equal 25% on income above 100k.
OK?

The present tax rates will not pay off our national debt, much less obummer care, so any further discussion is a waste of time.

Time and thought would be much better spent doing away with all of the federal government programs, bureaucracies, etc., beyond what was spelled out in the Constitution, leaving whatever else to the states.
