in 3 years it will be 100 years of taxes. Taxes are a necessary thing. Unless you live in Monaco (a country basically existing just because it has no taxes) or Somalia you probably have them. The thing is, The Mega rich pay a disproportionate amount. They have so much expendable income yet are not asked to pay much more than the rest of us (unless you are cripplingly poor).
so when it comes down to it, me making 5,000 for school and having somwhere around $900.00 taken out has more effect than a rich man having his 35% top rate taken.
