congrats on your success, now give half of your success to the government
it would be no more or less atrocious if he made $100 and had to give 48 to taxes
Agreed. That's why a flat tax would be the most fair. The rich would still pay way more taxes because 15% (or whatever %age) of a million is way more than 15% of $10,000 (not that someone that only made $10K would be required to pay in this country).
Seriously, it makes me think why even try to become super rich if the G is just going to steal half of it away. Why not just live middle, or upper middle class and not give the G as much?

It's a time tested fact that no matter how much the government taxes you, people will still be trying to get rich.
