| coolestguyever said: I understand that the poor can't afford to pay a lot but that doesn't mean we should exploit the rich. With all the programs in place for poor people there is becoming less and less incentive to work hard and become rich, you know your going to be taxed through the ass and get no special treatment. Also another thing to note: Who is it that's donating large amounts of money to charity? Is it the poor guy who is barely getting by?? No its the rich guy with lots of disposable income. Not only are we being taxed, but the more generous rich people also donate to charity like my father. |
People who are more conservative do tend to donate a higher percentage of their income to charity. Though they usually tend to be poorer.
If we socialized everything less money would likely get donated to charity since peoples core beliefs would move away from a more "Everything is up to you the individual stance."
Though less money may or may not be needed depending how adequte and efficent the government programs put into play are.
Really we shouldn't tax rich people more. But simply tax capital gains at the same rate as everythign else.
Hell you could make our tax system a lot less progressive if you did that.
Right now the rich but uninvested are largley subsidizing the stock guys.
