Because the rich are going to need all there money to pay of the national debt. Once they break the last union. And get wages down to $5 a day.

I JUST did my 2010 taxes and for 2010, I paid $89,000 on $272,000 in AGI (husband and I combined). That's 33%. I also pay $1,200 a year in City business permit taxes, I pay $10,000 a year for my own health insurance.
I can't even deduct my daughter's college tuition. How on Earth are the poor paying ZERO paying for ME? By the way, the only reason it's not even higher is because I could write off about $10,000 in business start-up and capital expenditure costs which I won't have this year, so it's going to be even worse.
The IRS reports that in 2009 (last year data is available for) the bottom 51% of filers paid *zero* income taxes. I'm pretty sure the poor and much of the middle class is in that bottom 50%. You're all being LIED to.
