Amen to that. I remember the first time I had tax brackets explained to me, I was a freshman in college. I didn't know shit about how taxes worked just that I didn't make much money as a waiter and a little taxes came out of my check. When I had it explained to me I said, WTF why do they tax you more (higher %) the more you make, that's not fair. Why punish people for being successful and reward people for being either unproductive, dumb, lazy, for making bad decisions etc.. or a combination of all. As a 18 year old kid in college making about 10K a year part time I thought it was wrong to not charge everyone the same tax rate, there should be a flat 25% across the board for everyone, whether you make $1 or 100M and no loop holes, exemptions etc.. Don't worry rich haters, the "rich" would still pay a lot more in taxes but at least the % would be fair for everyone.
I don't care how much you make the same % of your income should go to taxes for everyone.
These dumb ass rich haters (closet socialist) on here get mad because the rich get some breaks but they ignore the fact that even after the "breaks" the rich is still paying a disproportionate more in taxes then everyone else and they still getting raped.
