But do us all a favor and do some research and don't rely on Talk shows and opinion people. This is too important.
I have a real problem with people who think it's OK to increase taxes on someone else.
If you think we need to pay more taxes, then increase taxes for everyone equally.
Otherwise...they will just keep lowering the number. Pretty soon, they will say "Gee, the average person makes $50,000. Anyone who makes more than that is rich. We should tax everyone who makes more than that HEAVILY so that they can pay their fair share."
I don't think anyone should be able to cast a vote that takes money from another group. If you think more taxes are a good idea, then step up and pay your part.
