I believe you should take some time and consider the specific amount of money that people pay at each income level before you put down a blanket statement that these higher earning people should pay more than they already do.
Non-sequitur.
Your assertion was so outrageous and false that I couldn't help myself.
Sorry.
For the record, you obviously ignored a clear refutation of your assertion in the above post.
Well, of course it was rhetorical, but you definitely knew that.

It's funny that you would post this immediately after implying that I have a superior attitude.
I disagree with just about every syllable in your post. It's too bad that you don't want to have a civil conversation about it. I will leave you with an article that expresses what I have been attempting to say:
The Great Tax Shift | Brookings Institution Some of the authors' predictions didn't come true, but their basic argument rings true to me. I agree with their basic point that, under W, the tax system shifted in favor of the wealthy and high earners. I wish it would shift back. The exact rates that should be enacted are not of much interest.
