Secondly, you act like the poor pay absolutely no taxes...there is sales tax, etc, maybe they need to trace your money and see what it actually goes in to. You might be surpised that you will end up seeing a lot of the money you pay. Unless your a millionaire or something....

I don't act like the poor pay absoutely no taxes. They don't pay their fair share, and that's my biggest issue. As Sawz mentioned in his post following yours, everyone should pay their share. But, it isn't a dollar amount, it's a percentage. Consumption tax would be best....everyone pays their share, yet everyone controls their own taxes. Flat tax would work too, but then not everyone is paying, just those that have jobs.
