really i would have never guessed.
1. look the whole thing about taxes is that it only ends up being a group of people that pay them. not the whole group, just part of the group. take this "carbon tax" for example. who pays? people who buy gas...not people who ride the bus. so you want to charge me extra $$$ for a gallon of gas, then people who ride the bus should do the same.
or
2. how about this instead of people getting more back on their income tax returns by claiming 3 or 4 or 5 kids. we charge bigger familys more income tax as a "carbon tax" because they are leaving a bigger "carbon footprint" then people like myself who only has a wife.
3. Cali, gets all this power to do things like this because people that state let them. go out and vote for people you want in office and get the ones you don't want in out.

This year's numbers show that both the income share earned by the top 1 percent and the tax share paid by the top 1 percent have reached all-time highs. In 2005, the top 1 percent of tax returns paid 39.4 percent of all federal individual income taxes and earned 21.2 percent of adjusted gross income, both of which are significantly higher than 2004 when the top 1 percent earned 19 percent of AGI and paid 36.9 percent of federal individual income taxes.

i could go on and on and show you that rich people pay alot of taxes. no i'm not one of them, i'm upper middle class and i pay my fair share. i really think that we should all americans pay the same amount. that is the only way to make it fair, there are two options. a comsumption tax, or a flat tax.
just my two cents......sorry about the
