Well this makes no sense.

The government needs to stop screwing everything up and just have a flat tax of say 15%. At the same time they need to stop getting involved with the market and let it do its thing. All these regulations and laws just get rid of the point of becoming rich. Why am I going to work 70 hours a week for 20 years to make a million just to have taxes take it away when I can be lazy and have welfare pay for almost everything?



A Flat tax won't cut it. Plus the more money you make the more of it you don't need or should put back into the system because the system helped you make that money in the first place. If you make 25 million a year I'm sure you could get by on 25% let alone 50% of that money, I would say a fair tax is 38% for the ubber rich. People that make this much, pay between 1-15% while that money they made caused how many millions in damage to the enviroment, Roads, Bridges, Drinking water, eco systems. You didn't make your money off your roads you paid for. everyone paid for them. Your money moves millions of products around on those roads and rails and what ever else. This stuff is not cheap.  So you have to put back into what has allowed you to make that much. Regulations are good in many area's, it's usually to protect the consumers or the welfare of other people. So you don't give a crap if people  catch cancer from plants that produce mass polution but only about how much you make.  LEts also consider a regulation that would stop mothers that are on welfare from having more then 2 kids and if so have to get there tubes tide to keep getting welfare. However if someone with more kids falls on hard times and needs help which didn't before, they should also do the same. This would stop people from being lifers on the welfare system. However if there handicap or have severe Disabilities Then we should be the people to say. I will help you because thats what america is about. not selfish people that could care less. If so, go move to a third world country that operates that way and plays favorites.

Plus I'm willing to bet that you are middle wage earner, which in this case taxing the rich, well bring you tax's down and your pay up or just bring your pay up. Because that money will be pumped into our economy in the form of infrastructer and putting people to work that are unionised, which make good money and great health care.  They can afford a nice life, not rich but good. This in turn gives demand for products and employment. Employers compete for you, giving you have the right skills.

TIme for you the 1% to pay. Only the greedy, greedy people own't agree with this action. I can tell who is in vgchartz.
