1 small town's battle for tolerance

[zkt]

The top few percent dont have to work. They let their money work for them. I`m not talking about schoolteachers, doctors, lawyers nor the guy who own a small business. They pay their share. Its the ones making millions a YEAR, the multimillionairs and billionaires, that are sucking ME and YOU dry. Do you really think that taxing the guy who works at McDonalds to starvation is gonna fix the problem? Or would you rather just exterminate the poor and unemployed?

Did that top few percentage work long hard hours,did they excell in school,did they pay their dues,do they have succesfull business' that employ millions,do they pay their taxes,are they the heart beat of America ?Are these the top few you refer to ?

ZKT, You and I will probably always disagree on this subject,I respect you for sticking to your guns.To answer your question about corp entitlements,yes they get some breaks..but they are the ones who employ us.They should get some incentives,if they dont they will move out of the country and we lose jobs.Making profit is not an evil thing.I actually work for 14 millionaires,if it was not for their sucess and money my employees and I would not have this job.The money trickles down,never up.About taxing lower income,we all need to pay taxes.We all need to contribute.I look at the statistics differently than you,the wealthy and upper middle class are the ones paying the most tax.I also think if we took all those on entitlement programs off if they did not fit the true criteria things would get better.If you keep giving out handouts there is no incentive to get a job.And yes,I am very much for a fair tax system.
