haha, ironchef, your ad hominem attacks are quite amusing. Furthermore, basic math will tell you that if one person is taxed 10 and makes 40k they will pay 4k in taxes, whereas if you make 280k you will pay 28k in taxes, thus they pay more, but the percentage is the same.

Except the problem is our tax system isnt proportional yet progressive. So your basic math example is quite useless.

A progressive tax is a tax imposed so that the tax rate increases as the amount to which the rate is applied increases. The term "progressive tax" can be applied to any type of tax. It is frequently applied in reference to income taxes, where people with more disposable income pay a higher percentage of that income in tax than do those with less income.

Isn't that what he said?

No.

As the income increases, so does the RATE. It is no longer near 10% when you make 280k but the rate increases to 30%-40%.

40,000 = 4,000 in taxes
280,000 = 100,000 in taxes

Ah, didn't catch that part.

which is why sometimes its hard justifying working harder...i like moeny, money motivates me but if i made 200k, i would be pissed cause im essentially not making much more due to taxes as the guy making 130k...make sense??


As far as you calling me out on being 19, i took AP econ in 11th grade and was the ONLY one at my school taking Econ that was a junior...food for thought... and currently no, i am not enrolled in school but thats because ive lived out of my parents house since i was 16 and pay for all my own shit. Look at my cars ive owned...for the most part, theyve all been shitty


back to topic though...if it was a miced racial environment and wouldnt seem like segregation to a few complainers who want to play race card, nobody would bitch////kinda reminds me about the whole hurricane katrina situation but thats a whole other topic

Exactly. You make more, you pay more. Seems fair to me.

Well then would it be fair if the people who payed more recieved more services, had more cops in their areas, had much better public education, had much better roads, etc etc. I think there would be a shitload of people complaining if that was the case.
