Most numbers I use are from "The Tax Policy Center" a washington think tank...

Don't start beating me up on typos...My arm is in a sling and I shouldn't be typing....you're killing me. You're smart enough to know what I'm saying

You're aware the average tax break related to the last taxcut the average millionaire got back about 85K, the average 50K person got $20 bucks.

Again, it's not about taxes. If you could write regulation that would net you a 200% in profits, you would have no problem paying another 10% in tax.

The bigger issue wil be the global economy. America is being brought down to size now because of it. Why we may still lead the world in many ways, it doesn't work for most americans as they get poorer and poorer.

My lifestyle is half. I made over 200K 3 years ago. I'm disabled, but work. I'll be honest, I made a pity 72K this year. I get by because I don't have debt, but with my illness I'm putting every dime away, because I pay my expense out of pocket and if I took all the medical care they wanted I would be bankrupt in a week. Maybe one day adults with preexisting condtions will get affordable healthcare, but not if corporations have any say.

I think we both know our nation is headed for ruination and a two class system of a few percent rich and most poor. All the facts show that...The rich class has increased wealth 100 fold. Do you realize most now have loopholes and their wealth can go to their kids with no
inheritance tax..?

You should see the fox in the henhouse, that is unless you're one of the few uber rich.

I deal with several groups, mostly people with disease and living in poverty. Most worked all their lives, most once had insurance but couldn't pay cobra when jobs were losts. Most were denied or had to fight for years to get LTD they paid for for years, few see it, just search UNUM and see what people go through.

Sure, we have those that enjoy being poor and living off the government, but most don't. I've seen people eat dogfood, seen the sick blow their brains out waiting years to be approved for SS, medicare or LTD they paid for, so yea it burns me when another CEO buys his wife a million dollar coat knowing a disabled vet blew his head off not being able to get care. You call it capitalism...anyone with a brain knows better....it's bought and paid for regulation to do as they please.
