Why is a lower tax rate for high earners a problem?

You only look at one tax...there are hundreds of taxes that we pay. Federal Income State Income Local Income SS Tax Medicare Tax Unemployment TAx Sales Tax Excise Tax Property Tax Telecom Tax The list is huge... Obamacare itself is a huge tax increase.

When rates were higher, there were more write-offs. The effective rate hasn't gone down much. Also, due to local tax increases, the overall tax burden is pretty high.

The income tax is an evil thing. It needs to be replaced with a national sales tax. Don't forget the payroll taxes, either.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
