That's a little harsh. Do you think we should all earn the same, regardless of what we do, how hard we work, or what or level of education is?

Certainly not, but someone who is obviously making a substantial income should not be complaining about paying their taxes. I'm certain they still have lots of after tax dollars left over to spend, probably lots left after paying all the bills too. Why should I have sympathy for them?

It all depends on how they got them dolars. maybe they put in twice the hrs that you do? Harder work?

Taxes are a nessicarry evil, yes. But we, the average Joe worker, are taxed to death. Yet corporations, the ones who can afford to pay, get huge tax cuts. makes no sence to me

I dont need sympathy I just want to pay the same tax as someone who work for 8$ an hour.I dont think its fair that when I work 18hours a day 7 days a week that they should tax me so much more.If people at minimum wage were taxed around 30% they'd freak but I should take it in stride.Kinda sucks.Clint
