[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should I pay 39.5% of my income because, well, I have it? 50% of Americans pay no federal income tax at all.

If the feds want the dual income professionals to have one spouse SAH, raising taxes is an awesome way to do it.[/quote]

So that you don't have to live in a walled compound?  (I assume you are the type that wouldn't buy the "so I can look myself in the mirror" argument.  Or that it would be the Christian thing to do argument)[/quote]

When taxes are lowered, people don't just sit on the money they don't have to give up. They give more to charity and they spend more on goods and services, which affects other people's businesses and jobs. I can look myself in the mirror with no problem. (I'm not the PP, however).[/quote]

And if you raise my taxes, I'm not going to cut my spending or investing. I'll simply give less to charity. Is that what poor people want?[/quote]

What is the current fraction of your income that you give to charity?  Anyway... I bet you are not rich enough to be in the class for which it would be useful to raise taxes.  Very few people are in that bracket, and they don't waste their time on DCUM.  Anyway, if your current tax rate is not near 15%, you are not nearly rich enough to be the one of the ones that are not pulling their weight (and you probably never will be)[/quote]
