Millionaires pay a rate that’s more than four times that of the middle class.

According to new data from the IRS, people who make $1 million or more had an average tax rate of 20.4 percent in 2010. Tax filers who earned $30,000 to $50,000 paid an average rate of 4.8 percent, while those who made between $50,000 and $100,000 paid 7.7 percent. Those making under $30,000 had a negative effective rate, meaning they paid no federal income taxes after deductions and credits.

Although Obama and his fellow Democrats repeatedly call on wealthier Americans to pay their "fair share," they never specify what percentage of the nation's tax burden the wealthy would have to bear. As matters stand, the top 1 percent of American households paid 39 percent of income taxes in 2009, according to the most recent data compiled by the Congressional Budget Office, and the top 5 percent of taxpayers paid 64 percent.

You mean the 1950s that you say you don't want to go back to? Why do you want to go back to the 1950s? Remember how horrible they were? Negros couldn't vote and you women couldn't control your semen receptacles

OK

So what do you think YOUR highest marginal tax rate should be?

We have already established that you have ZERO problem with calling for higher taxes on OTHERS. How magnanimous of you.

But, I think some context is necessary for us to see where it is you are actually coming from. So what do you think YOUR highest marginal tax rate should be? Is there any limit to how much the gobblement can confiscate from you? Or are you willing to have them take from you any amount they deem necessary to satisfy their desires?

Dear Sweetums,

I have never argued that we will head toward economic collapse if the top marginal rate is raised to 39%. I argue against higher taxes on moral grounds. I never argue them on whether or not the economy will grow. Anyone who knows anything about the economy knows that it doesn't grow or shrink based on one factor alone such as taxes. Only an idiot would believe such nonsense.

For me taxes are a moral issue of theft by the government.

Now, I asked you very specific and very simple question. What do you think YOUR highest marginal tax rate should be. We already know what you think the 1% should pay, but what about you? You are either afraid to answer the question (as most liberals are for some reason) or you don't understand the question.

Allow me to help you out. I personally oppose ALL income taxes on moral grounds and think they should be abolished. But, if we are forced to live with one, then I believe we should have a flat tax of 15% on ALL income regardless of source paid by ALL citizens regardless of class with ZERO deductions for ANYTHING. That would be the most FAIR form of taxation in my view.

Sincerely,

Someone who is obviously much smarter than you

Under your proposal, like all other so called "fair" or flat taxes, the poor would pay more, which is the only reason you want it.

Actually before the democrats took over Congress unemployment was 4.5% and the deficit was $157 billion

Using left wing logic the democrats caused our problems

Did the democrats say we can afford this war?
Did the democrats say deficits don't matter?
Did the democrats try to pay for a war with tax cuts, using borrowed money?
Did the democrats name the war The Long War?
Did your mother have any children that lived?
