If you're going to raise taxes, raise taxes on everyone.

What a crock of horse crap that some will get tax cuts and others will get tax increases.

As long as the vast majority of people in this country keep buying new cell phones, plasma tv's and blu-ray dvd players and game consoles, I don't believe it's any segment of the populations job to subsidize other people's toys.

No health care, turn off the Air Conditioner during the summer and wear a sweater over the winter. Don't buy the new Iphone and forgo the $100 month cable, internet or direct tv bill. Maybe reconsider those season tickets to the Browns as well.

Help the "needy" not the "wanty"

Even then I doubt the total percentage of Americans paying taxes comes close to 95%

What say you?

Where does it stop?

When they hit 100% taxes, no one works = no economy.

The communists want us all to be farmers, pay 50% taxes, have 11pm curfews, walk to work, and live in huts the size of a Romanian prison cell. No need for innovation or comfort, no sir.

This is just plain wealth distribution and this is going to kill the middle class.
