"In the United States the "Wealthy" pay a disproportionately large ammount of the taxes, which means that you can raise taxes without rasining them for people under a certain income level."

 

Perhaps, but do they pay the same proportion of the income that they  do receive in taxes as do the poor?  eg.  If I'm making $15,000.00 a year as  my total salary, but I have to pay close to $3,000.00 a year in taxes which is 1/5 of my total income, then are the wealthy also paying 1/5 of their total income each year in taxes?  Do Bill Gates or some of these oil barons pay $5-6 billion each year in taxes?



My most anticipated games:  Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort.  Cave Story Wiiware.
