    Aside from the extra already taken out? I'd be fine with fifty more. I still don't see your exact reasoning behind your questions though.

    You would be happy paying $50 more a week in taxes? and you feel comfortable in asking every other person to do the same?

    I'd be fine with 100 more (progressively taxed) if it meant everyone could get healthcare and education.

    At what % of income do think the "rich" should pay.


    Top rate...


    No excuses...


    No double-talk...


    What rate should the top 1% pay that would satisfy you that they are doing their "fair share".

    It would be better for the environment for us all to race electric cars.



    Right?




    I mean, assuming you don't charge it with electricity made from a coal-fired power plant.




    But then again, Nuclear is bad too.




    Racing cars would be OK if they ran on Unicorn farts and/or fairy dust. But fairy dust is highly unstable, we don't have the technology to harness the power safely.

    So just Unicorn farts for now.

    Not stalling. Just wanting to streamline the process.

    I suppose we're referring to personal tax rates for the 1% of Americans that make more than $350k? I think the percentage right now, for them, is around 35%? Kinda seems like a fair number to me, don't you?

    You said "a Chevy volt never won a race." It was clear that the Chevy volt won that race, was it not? Are you changing the parameters or what?

    Again, you answer a question with a question. I don't care what's "fair"... Give me an absolute percentage on when you think taxes become overbearing.

    You asked what I thought was a fair percentage for the 1%. I said the current rate was fair, did that not answer your question? What point are you getting at? Other than trying to color me as blue or red, when reality doesn't work that way. I'm not gonna say what's "fair" or not without knowing what you're talking about, and I'm not gonna give you a simplistic absolute answer, since the tax system isn't simple or absolute.

    Details mayne.

    Indeed.... that's the real meaning of "willing to work" half the people on welfare would turn down these jobs.

    you should know this about blank by now, he is never going to paint himself in a corner that would question his support of Obama. Blank doesnt want to say "45% would be too much" because he knows if Obama raised it to 46% he would still be ok with it.... or anything else Obama does. Blank always leaves the escape door open.

    I guess, rather than getting you to think about what progressive taxation means, I wanna see where this goes....

    90%. My final answer. Your move....

    Im not going to say 45% is too much because I dont pretend that a tax percentage exists in a vacuum. Theres more than just a couple digits that make up what people get taxed, and fairness is a completely subjective issue.

    Does it completely blow your mind that rich people used to be taxed at 90%???

    If you told me tomorrow i had to pay $100 more a week in taxes, id probably quit working.
    And this is the true beginning of the entitlement society.
