[quote=TheBreeze]It looks like the tax plans are pretty much the same until you get above $600,000 in income. Do you seriously think capitalism is going to fall apart because someone making $600,000 a year has to pay an extra 1% of their income in taxes? I think capitalism will be able to withstand such a viscious assault.
AN, you really need to get out and experience the world. There are greater injustices than some rich asshole having to pay an extra 1% in taxes. Some of these injustices even occur right here in America. [/quote]
Sorry if I’m not rich and live in a comfy Carmel Valley home like you to scoff at $400-$1500 tax break a year. No, I don’t think capitalism will fall apart because of higher taxes on people making $600k. But I can see small business owners getting in a world of hurt due to 50% higher wages, increase in health care spending, etc. Maybe you should open a small business, then tell me how you feel about these increase in costs.
You’re telling me to get out and experience the world? Can you tell me if you ever live in a Communist country? I can tell, after living in one and see how it affects people, I really detest it. The greatest injustice I see here in America is how much opportunity are out there and yet you have people who just whine and moan but do nothing to help themselves. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Those who grew up with nothing will understand.
