There is A LOT of government waste in this country, and taxing the “rich” will not help anything…it’s a band-aid.

Look at our social programs…welfare, medicaide…they just extended welfare saying that will stimulate job growth…really?

As said before the “rich” pay close to half of the taxes in this country already. You also have to realize that when you tax the “rich” you tax a majority of business filed under LLC’s, etc.
