Taxes solve everything, until the government squanders those tax dollars again and the people with money take their ball and go home.

Exactly. If 61% of the fire marshall's income was going to taxation he'd be singing a far different tune.MikeDamone said:

I'm in favor of taxing the rich, so that other rich people can get paid to argue about how to spend their money for them. It's only fair.

maybe, but it's not like the vast majority of the country makes millions per year for swinging a golf club and schlepping products. since the middle class is being decimated somebody has to pay taxes.DerekJohnson said:

And what inevitably happens to societies that punish their most successful people? The most successful people start to think, "why am I busting my ass only to see 61% or more of my money go to taxation? And innovation and progress slowly begin to dry up.
There's a reason historically why the vast majority of innovation comes from America. Incentive and profitability. -
