I give you, not the "Citizens for Tax Justice" (whatever the hell that is), but rather the "United States House of Representatives" (I'm sure you've heard of it)

http://www.house.gov/jec/press/2002/10-24-02.htm

Which states that the top 1% of taxpayers, which make $313,469/yr or more pay 37.42% of all Federal Personal Income Tax.



Ya, so what's the problem with giving a break to the guys who pay the most.

Looks bad when you're dealing with the percentages, take a look at the dollar amounts paid. You're thinking is a bit one dimensional the way you present this. If I'm in the 15% bracket I'm paying WAAAYYY less than the guy in the 35% bracket.

15% of $35,000 = $5250 in taxes
35% of $313,469 = $109,714 in taxes

So a 10% cut for each - which is the SAME by your thinking..

$525 for the poor guy
$10,971.40 for the rich guy

So the weathly get a bigger tax break, so what. They EARN MORE.




I'm not sure if your intent was to back me up or criticize me... but you just made the same point i was trying to...
