The fact that people that make more money are taxed more even though they worked for the money is beyond me. Punish the rich is not my idea of equality.
I couldn't agree more. If we had a flat tax everything would be great. If you make 10K you should get another job or second job and then you might be able to afford that $4.50 gallon of gas and that $4 gallon of milk and won't have to rely on a tax scheme that fleeces the rich.
