The top 1% should pay about 80% in taxes while the top .1% should be paying upwards of 90% if you look at reality. Sales tax should be eliminated as it hurts the poor and middle class.
Quoting: krosty No, they should eliminate income tax, and tax people on their purchases. Here in Washington State there is no tax on food. People who consume a lot, pay more. Sales tax doesn't hurt us a lot because we are not spendthrifts. Yes I agree there should be a luxury tax for the rich. Ideally, you'd be taxed on your purchases based upon your income. A luxury tax? Oh good God straight out of commie 101. You do NOT punish the rich and expect to increase revenue. A flat tax where every one pays 5 per cent is the only way to go. If you make 10,000 dollar you pay 5 per cent of the 10. If you make 1 million you pay 5 per cent by doing it for every one including the rich will automatically pay more... Go back to basic economics. The graph is logarithmic. You make $1 it should be taxed $.01, make $100 you don't get taxed $1, it should be more like $20 as a rough example.
