I hate how people against tax cuts argue this crap or the buffett rule or some crap like that. If everyone paid a flat tax rate it would be fair. Whats fair is everyone paying 10 or 20% of what they earn. That is whats fair, you want to be equal fess up to it. The truth is the rich pay the majority of taxes already, accounting for almost 80% of tax income. The rich are taxed at a much higher rate already, how is that fair. I'm a middle class man, so I can see the position, why is it fair that someone should pay more.
The truth is no matter how we look at it we get shit on either way elephant or donkey, America like the Roman Empire has already descended into a classic oligarchy, where the middle and lower class are synonymous with plebians, and lobbyists and special interests have monopolized power like the patricians and equestrians. The poor have no power in america, lets face it sad but true..
