Obama's attempts at fomenting a Class War

If one was ever fortunate enough to make a million dollars a year in income, one should willingly give back $450,000 of it to "the government"
Its the loopholes that need to be addressed. Increasing the % to almost half of ones income just seems incredibly unfair to me. I also think that considering all "income" regardless of how generated be taxed at the same rate could be an effective concept.

Yeah, I sure do wish that I could have taken advantage of the tax break on "heavy" cars that allowed Dr.s and lawyers to drive Hummers, when the intention was to help farmers.

Let's start by removing the limit of $106,800 on FICA.

Edward Filene of Boston's Filene's Department Stores might have agreed with you.
He is supposed to have said:

"Why shouldn't the American people take half my money from me ?
I took all of it from them."
