In reply to: Oropan 's message, "Re: Oro, THis kind of blows your theory about how the wealthy are paying more than their share of taxes" on 05:20:39 05/31/07 Thu

If they were paying the 95 percent rate like they were when Kennedy took office then I think they have reason to complain. Any more its sounds like bawling to me. They are not sending their sons and daughters to get killed and maimed in this war in fact they are not even supporting the war most of them wanted with their dollars. THis is the first time in the history of the US when taxes were lowered during a war. Which leaves us owing china and other countries a tremendous amount of money to the extent china can send us poisonous consumer products and we say and do little . We are arming them to be a super power with our present business practices with them .
On top of that most of the wealthy do not get their income from earned income it comes from capital gains and such and they already get a tremedous break on those taxes that people whose only income is earned income do not .
Its not the truly wealthy in many cases who are against higher taxes in many cases its the ones with upper middle class income who whine the most .
