Just because a super rich guy can pay 50% taxes and be fine it doesn't mean he should. I understand you aren't directly saying something like "no taxes on first 100,000 you make with everything above going to the gov." but it is where your logic is headed. Sure $100 grand is enough to live a great life with but it gets rid of the reason to do any better. Why make a million only to get 100 grand? I think flat tax or atleast function tax needs to be used to keep the drive to be richer and richer.

Also you seem to forget that the rich guy isn't harming the environment or damaging roads, it's his company which already has to pay fees for those. Let's imagine someone that won a special lottery and gets 20 million a year. Are you saying you want to tax him extra for all these things the average rich guy is involved in even though he isn't?

Our different beliefs show why the gov. is so screwed up. You believe in super taxing the rich and welfare programs while I believe in the country's market running itself and people helping people during hard times. Both have potential to work great but instead we get half and half that loses all pros of the individual ideas.

Well for some poor sure. As long as it's fair and equal for all incomes I'm fine with it. The market should do its thing because what does a company want to do? Sell stuff. They will figure out a way to make money and inturn the consumer will continue to have money to spend as they get a steady paycheck.
