UK example of why high tax rates on the rich don't work

[dellinger63]

The top 1% pay 30% of the income tax.

I'd say they're doing more than their fair share.

We have become so reliant on the Federal government for everything from viagra to abortions, common sense no longer exists.

Stop the spending (leaks) first, then start bailing out. Bailing a boat without first fixing the leaks does not work and neither does taxing now and cutting later. To the cliff we go! Sickening how spoiled, needy and weak we've become. Our poor our rich when compared to the rest of the world.
