When did I say that it was unfair? What's unfair is that they don't pay a high portion of taxes and control a lot of stuff that they shouldn't, like lots of political decisions are swayed towards benefiting the rich.

50%+ of their income isn't enough?

What is a fair share in your mind?

40%. Right now they pay 33%.

Also you could end some loopholes and actually enforce taxes on the rich, right now there are too many ways to get out of it.

You do realize that the top 1% pay more in taxes than the bottom 90% combined, right? I'm sure why you have so much hatred and envy of successful people. You basically want them to pay close to half of their income while low income earners take from the government and don't provide anything. It's just stupid. Taxes are designed to fund the government, not to fund poor people. This country is so backwards. How about you start asking them to pay 40% in taxes when you start paying 40% in taxes. Until then, quit making stupid comments like that.

You know what, I agree with you. The poor, poor billionaires are over-taxed! Let's take evenly from the poor. You know what, let's take half of what all poor people own. That's 700 billion dollars. Btw, what happens if you pass Obama's top 1% tax proposal? Oh, you raise 700 billion dollars? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Btw, RICH PEOPLE PAY MORE IN TAXES BECAUSE THEY OWN MORE WEALTH.

But no, the poor, poor billionaires have it rough, while the homless live large. Good riddance.

Keep punishing the ones who have worked hard and taken risks so that they can provide for those who haven't worked as hard and taken as many risks. Great idea, Tang.

Just had to peak at what lunacy tang was getting blasted for posting this time.
After doing so, I stand by my statement that I think he's incredibly naive, but I've now changed my position and must agree that he is incredibly stupid as well.

No, right now they pay 39.6% in federal taxes. If you live in California, you can tack on another 13.3%. That is a total of 52.9% of their income going to the government. You lefties just spout stupidity off about them "paying their fair share." Plain stupidity. It is only envy.

So tell me. What gives the government the right to 53% of the citizens income?

All3, our country is doomed because Tang thinks in lockstep with most young people in our country. He is not an outlier. The truly scary part is that they will be in positions of power one day.

Yes, but most young people then start making real money by the age of 35 and slowly turn to logic. Idiot Tang does not understand basic math even if the tax rate is 37%. Someone who made $100mil is paying $37 mil in taxes. How much more does Tang want that person to pay? Honestly. Someone who makes $100k and is in the 25% bracket pays $25k.

Hmmmm....$37mil vs. $25k? Lets tax the rich more!!!!!!!!!

Tang needs to learn percents and what an "ally" is. He is a total moron. Actually I just insulted morons by calling Tang a moron.

Punishing? Lol, if you think raising the tax rate by 7% is punishment then you are insane.

BTW, demonizing the poor and favoring the rich isn't very Jesus-like of you.

7% on $100mil is $7mil.

The poor are poor because they are bad with money. Why punish those who are good with money?

Dummy. Oh and you cannot block me here. So I am free to call you a dumbass all day.

Dumbass.
