Because it worked very well in the 90's.




meaning? What I'm asking is why should we tax the ritch so excessivly did they do something wrong? Are they less entitled to the money they earn? Is success wrong?



Were they taxed so bad in 90's? Seemed like everyone did pretty good. That tax isn't a punishment, it's just the government is running up a tab. At some point it will be paid. Should it be shifted more to the middle?




No, but if we have to we could also cut some of our more useless programs. I'm in favor of the "fair tax" plan that has even the president talking about it. The taxes we have now tax earnings. You tell me why a person should pay a higher PECENt of thier earnings just because they're more successfull? I agree they should pay a higher amount, but not a higher %. Oh and things did so well in teh 90's because of the tech boom and the .coms, not BECAUSE we taxed wealthier people a higher %. You make it sound as if rich people prospered because they were being taxed at a higher rate.
