I am far from a "millionire", [sic] and it doesn't effect just "millionaires" anyway. For some people, it will take 2/3 of every dollar they made to the government. It wouldn't effect [sic] me, but that is just wrong.The marginal utility of each Dollar you have, or earn is less than the marginal utility of the preceding Dollar. What that means is that a higher percentage tax for a person earning more money may actually result in a lesser loss of utility than the lower percentage tax for the lower income person. If someone is smart enough, or fortunate enough to make good money, they should not be punished by having to give it all away to the government. Nobody is proposing that all money should be taken by the government, so this is a herring. In a capitialist [sic] society, all things are not equal. There will always be the haves and the have nots. You can't punish the "haves" just because you can. That's socialist. Obama is not proposing punishing anyone. There is no doubt that the government needs revenue. How do you propose that the government raise it? In all of the arguments where you have stated tax hikes for the rich to be unfair, unless I am mistaken, you haven't stated what your alternative would be. |
