I keep hearing liberals say day after day, "the rich need to pay their fair share!"
But when asked how much the "fair share" actually is, they have no idea and never come out with a specific number. Others just beat around the bush and talk about periods in our history when top marginal tax rates were in the 90% range (even though nobody ever paid that rate), but say that's not really what they want. Maybe out of fear they'll get called communists.
Anyways, I thought I'd put an end to the confusion once and for all with this poll.
Liberals, what should be the "fair share" the rich have to pay in taxes?
Conservatives, feel free to chime in as well.
28% including capital gains and inheritance taxes. That being the highest tax bracket would kick in at $200,000 for a single person. Secondly, the home mortgage deduction would be phased out over the next 15 years. As for the rest of the rates, 15%, 22%, and the top rate of 28%. And last of all, increase the payroll tax cap to $200,000, but make it so that nobody ever pays over 28% between their share of the payroll tax and their federal income tax.
