agreed, especially since the wealthy pay the *lowest* percentage of taxes (something like 22%, I think, as opposed to 34% for those making under $100K a year).
I follow politics and what's going on rather closely, and I have to admit that I'm not following either...
Disagreed. It's punishing success. That would be like telling a straight A student they should share their grade success w/ the majority of the D students.
Ah, yes. An honest[1] flat tax is most fair. the current situation favours the wealthy, the redistribution would favour the poor. Either change (redistribution or flat) will involve more taxes for the wealthy - the ones most likely to make campaign contributions. [1] in order for it to be honest, there can't be credits that only work for one group or another.
(as a Canadian, I only follow the most high level American news)
Increased taxes on the wealthy rather than the middle class seems to make sense to most of the population.

I prefer flat tax across the board.
