Why should the little guy, who layes the foundation for small businesses, be taxed more and the rich get taxed less?Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013341582975106344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20882334.post-34878411004879868392011-03-10T22:36:17.736-08:002011-03-10T22:36:17.736-08:00Wow it's sad how the rich just keep getting ri...Wow it's sad how the rich just keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer!D_anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934262070537500803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20882334.post-67485584498738215122011-03-10T21:54:54.408-08:002011-03-10T21:54:54.408-08:00When I first saw this chart I was amazed.

I think they need to quit adding tax to the middle and low income and get the tax needed from the rich. Maybe this would improve the lives of some people.Swayzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033644532315954017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20882334.post-3153074692742124262011-03-10T21:35:17.197-08:002011-03-10T21:35:17.197-08:00With the world being flat, many people are becomin...With the world being flat, many people are becoming richer and richer, and younger and younger.

After taxes the top 1% line went down tremendously and all of the other lines surrounded closely. I personally do not think it is fair because the top 1% has to make jobs for the lower rung people. So how are they supposed to do that if they are giving all their money paying higher taxes?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308857034879502572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20882334.post-27479189641826912052011-03-08T18:58:47.601-08:002011-03-08T18:58:47.601-08:00With the huge gap in the wealthy and the people on...With the huge gap in the wealthy and the people on the lowest rung, it is scary to see that it has become the top 1%, this is very little people who are very rich, it almost seems like something or someone is making it this way...CRISTALMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908132321122571882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20882334.post-77665654015839931942011-03-08T07:45:58.665-08:002011-03-08T07:45:58.665-08:00How much more is immiseration going to rise, this ...How much more is immiseration going to rise, this scares me.
