Yet, they pay less than we do
Are you serious? They pay a lot more than you. A smaller percentage of a lot of money is still a larger sum than a big percentage from a small amount of money.
A millionaire who is taxed 10 percent is still paying six figure taxes.So why cant they pay the same %?Let's compare.
let's assume everyone is taxed at 10%.
An income of $300,000 will have $270,000 left over to take care of his family.
An income of $30,000 will have $27,000 left over to take care of his family.
Do you see why rich people should be taxed more, and poorer people should be taxed less?
So because you can take more money from him that's a valid reason to? No. That's greed at it's finest.Of course it's greedy. It's called "society". We all live here together and we depend on eachother. We should take care of eachother in order to prosper. That includes letting poorer people have some more money at the end of the month to take care of their families. Otherwise, poor people will just get poorer, and we all lose when that happens.
