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.

I'm all for the FICA limit removal as well.
I thought therre was something about the Dr. "heavy car" thing that had something to do with rural areas & traveling in bad weather or something... something - lol.
No idea on the lawyer part - perhaps it helped the sink faster when we drown them?!!?!?

I go to a one room school house. The six year olds learn calculus, the eighteen year olds play with crayons.

mercy, you mistitled this thread. It is class warfare, it has been class warfare for a long time now. President Obama is not fomenting it, he is responding to it.

Perpetuating is more like it. Except when in campaign mode, which he clearly is.
Keep in mind, I'll probably vote for him since the option from the other side SUCK THAT MUCH MORE.
