Not that there aren't enough opinions here yet, but personally, I don't think taxing more to the "rich" is the right idea either. Last I checked we want people to try to excell, go for more, do better. "Be all you can be!" If we continue to take more from those who have "More to give" where's the incentive to work harder? There becomes a point where you don't want to make just that much more or you go into that next bracket and then you lose.... I think we should give more back to the rich if they show that they invest into our economy.
Then the question is what is defined as investing and is that also just more control over your money?(if you're the rich guy) Also, most people would be surprised as to what the government defines as rich.
We live in an awesome place. There are many problems in this world, but we are fortunate. Just an observation here, but we are a selfish nation. "What's in it for me?", and "Someone else is to blame for my trouble." Our society is teaching our children that we're not responsible for our actions good or bad, and at the same time if something bad happens to us we can sue someone and get rich. There's no such thing as an accident anymore. You want to fix something, get rid of the lawsuits. "Insurance", is really just all of us pitching in to recover someones "loss." I think we should give Judges the right to evaluate the validity of a lawsuit, and if deemed unjustified, the plaintif pays. Just a thought...
