personally I don't care if Richie Rich pays 1M while Joe broke pays 1k, and Amy Average pays 10K....if that is 10% I am all for it..after all Richie keeps 9m, and Joe keeps 9K, and Amy keeps 90K (the other 90%)*

course you know Joe isn't going to pay that 1K the govt sends it back (like when you make only 10K one is going to help much?)

And Richie only pays maybe 10K cause he has horses or donates 30K (saving 40K in taxes..umm why?)

The real trouble arises with Amy she is stuck..has to pay all 10K, no tax breaks for the average..if she donated 10K she might get herself down in owing, but not like Richie. (cause she doesn't have 30K left in the budget to donate!)

I have heard two different math quotes, one saying if we all pitched in it would cost less than 1K to pay the programs of US, and other saying we would all have to pay 100K in taxes to afford all the government spending. I would like one day to know which is right.
