I was joking obviously when I wrote my proposal for 50 percent on income and all assets after death but if nothing else this tax debate has shown that there are plently of Americans for which there is no defined level(ceiling) of fair taxation progressive or otherwise and while Americans must be accountable to the government, government at no time need be accountable to Americans. The argument has been turned on it's head for so long and used as a political club of class envy by those that would like to grow government that there is a complete disconnect.

"Fairness" seems to be the willingness by some to empower the government to take from those that have more than you at random, as necessary and according to their needs at any given time...

we have a marxist philosophy battling a traditional American value system in this country, no coincidence that it was Bernie Sanders leading the fillibuster

some argue that extending the current tax rates for upper income earners is going to add to the deficit next year and for some this is the proper cause to raise their taxes...

if I am spending far more money than I earn and running up my credit cards and go to my "rich" boss and tell him that he needs to give me a raise next year or he is going to "blow a hole in my deficit", after he stops laughing I'd assume he'd tell me to get my spending under control and that giving me a raise is not going to help with my obvious inability to manage my finances..."but boss, don't you care about my wife and kids???...I have all of these essential services to provide!"....and a few non-essential admittedly...

the argument that this is going to increase the deficit indicates that government had this money already spent does it not???
kinda like spending your raise before it ever shows up in your check

the progressive tax rates guarantee that not only will you pay more by earning more but that you will also pay a greater percentage by earning more(some would say working harder) than the next guy and ultimately increases the weight of the club of class envy politics exponentially in terms of the damage it can do when swung....

I've heard everyone form Obama to Axelrod to Goolsby say that not extending the tax rates for the "middle-class" would cost them two to three thousand dollars per year....someone needs to call for an investigation of BIG MUFFLER...because apparently a muffler has sky rocketed in price since Bush was in office...

real tax reform would include a separate form for marxists of any income level to dedicate large portions of their income to the government to assuage their guilt or satisfy their wants/needs mentality on their own

or they could just burn down big houses to feel better
