The rich are easy to demonize because they are a minority, when in truth they pay the largest percent in taxes. If you make 500k a year youi are paying about 50% of your income in federal,state,local and hidden taxes.The Federal Government spending is out of control and unsubstainable. Politicians derive their control by pitting groups against each other.Dont tax you, dont tax me, tax that guy behind the tree.The Dept. of HHRs budget this year (inflation adjusted) is larger than the entire budget for 1965.The tax system is broken and riddeled with exemptions bought and paid for by lobbyist. It is time for the Fair Tax, an inclusive sales tax that would take power away from politicians. It would do away with the IRS and Social Security. Michael Bonnecarrere
