You really dont understand incentive do you.do you honestly think that a 70% tax rate is fair at any income level? seriously?and then comes the question, if someone made it within the rules of society, why didnt the other person. too lazy to get an education still comes in to play since both started equal.What I find perplexing, is conservatives/libertarians "think" those people made it on their own, without SOCIETY and our laws?
SOME rules have changed:
EFFECTIVE tax rates
![]()
You mean like the hedge funder making $4.7+ billion by gamiong the system on his subprime bets? HELL YES.
ANY income over about $10 million a year should be taxed about 50%. ANYTHING over $100 million, 70%
WE CAN'T EVEN GET THE GOPers TO SUPPORT A MIN 30% TAX ON $1+ MILLION INCOMES THOUGH!
so, are you going to give half of your income to someone that doesnt work? to them, you must look rich if you can eat and keep a roof over your head.
Yes, we didn't have "incentives to work" when EFFECTIVE rates were 60%-70% on the top 1/10th of 1% of US right?
