I think the rich should ABSOLUTELY pay more because the majority of them are selfish and don't care about anybody but themselves! Trust me, if you are a millionaire, it is NOT going to hurt you if you just pay a little more in taxes. I believe that if you are a good and righteous person, you would want to help the poor or people that are less fortunate. It's as simple as that! People need to stop being so selfish.
They should lower the top income tax rate to 33%, and raise the capital gains rate to 33% for any gains earned from investments held less than five years. The rate for investment gains over five years should be 25%. The capitals gains rate should be tied to the income tax rate, so lower income earners would still pay less regardless of whether the income was from wages or investments.
Then all the investors would pull their money out of the market and ship it overseas or to some other tax reduced investment. The capital gains tax is designed to bring in revenue to the government while at the same time, encourage investment. Increase those taxes to 33% and watch the market crash and burn.
lol, Yes China is waiting for the capital, lol
