Who’s wealth would you spread around? Who decides what level of income is “rich”? What you call spreading the wealth I call theft andextortion. I am on the receiving side of the rich (just barely meet obamas criteria) and I will tell you it is no fun to be one of the folks chosen to “spread it around”.
I paid over 100k in federal tax last year. How much more should I pay to be “fair”? What about the 80k per year I am currently paying for my kids college? With no financial aid cause I’m “rich”? I have to pay for other peoples kids before I can pay for mine. Every dollar I have to increase my earnings by to cover for my kids is taxed at a out a 50% marginal rate. So to make 80k in tuition I actually have to make 160k. That’s a lot of overtime. How much more do you think would be fair?
Give me a break. The “rich” no matter how defined are just as entitled to keep the money they earned as everyone else is. I’m so tired of the soak it to the rich (as long as rich is defined as someone else) crowd I could barf. Atlas will shrug at some point. Don’t doubt it
You're being ripped-off.
But somebody's gotta pay that college coach's million a year salary so he can teach kids how to bouce a ball around.
I have a formula to suggest. But later--I have work to do right now.
