Fairness dictates that the highest income people should pay the greatest share of taxes, and they do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Taxes should be simple and fair... I'm not for increasing income taxes - if we even have an income tax.
Everyone wants the rich to pay more in taxes.
When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the same amount of income.
We are all are equal, but some pay higher tax rates than others.
When you have a tax system in which most of the exemptions and the lowest rates benefit the richest, all in the name of job creation, all that happens is that the rich get richer.
Our sense of fairness tells us that people should pay for the wrong they do.
Rich people don't pay taxes? Of course they pay taxes - they pay tons in taxes. They pay for everyone else who doesn't pay taxes.
When you hear a politician say 'fair share,' you are talking about hypocritical political propaganda. You are not talking about an intelligent discussion of who is paying what and who isn't paying taxes.
And it would be fair. Everyone will pay the same tax and it will eliminate tax cheaters and corporate shenanigans.
Fairness has not been enhanced by the tax code, but lobbyists have been made rich, politicians have been re-elected, and the economy has been made to suffer.
