Someone living on minimum wage spends ALL of his income, and generally relies on his tax return to catch up, or barely get ahead. the incredibly rich don’t spend 100% of their income. only an exponential/graduated tax on income, combined with other taxes, can effectively generate enough revenue to finance what the government needs to spend. and before anyone says dick about cutting spending, the war in Iraq has cost more than anything I can think of. wtf does it matter who spends how much of their income… rich people’s expenditures are more then ‘poor’ people income anyway… so the proportion is there for spending… you going to tell me an ‘incredibly’ rich person doesn’t spend 30k in a year??? “only an exponential/graduated tax on income, combined with other taxes, can effectively generate enough revenue to finance what the government needs to spend.” “only” - this is your problem… there isn’t ‘only’ one solution to problems. what does the war have to do with any of this? … pointless --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/vote-tomorrow/186076)._
