[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Married couples earning more than $150k should be paying 45% or 50% on all income above $150k.

Obviously, the brackets would be adjusted accordingly, but that's a rough idea where it should be. [/quote]

Yes let's kill the middle class. [/quote]

It's hardly killing someone to insist that those who have been very successful in this economy pay their fair share toward those who haven't. As a progressive society, this is what we should be striving for.[/quote]
It's a misconception that the highly successful aren't paying their fair share. The top 2% (or is it 1%) pay 40% of all federal taxes! and the top 20% pay something like 80%. I'd vote for everyone (other then those under the poverty line) to pay a tiny something and have some skin in the game. As it stands now, almost half the people don't pay any federal income taxes. How about a token payment of $100 per earner?[/quote] Every single wage earner should be paying some federal income tax.  The fact that so many do not, is why our elected officials get away with irresponsible and wasteful sending.[/quote]
