So how much would you take from the 1% - which is, by the way, 3.1 or 3.2 million people? I'm curious. For when you take a larger sum of their wealth and its "not enough" to feed those demanding a hand out - what then? Top 2% Top 5%? Its time to stop taking from one to give to another.
I don't support robbing from the rich to give to the poor.
I'm actually totally against means tested welfare. However I do support shifting the tax burden away from incomes that are within the norm, and onto those who's consumption or lifestyles would not be effected by paying a larger portion of our total tax burden. this doesn't neccesarally mean a higher tax rate on earned income for anyone (not even the rich). Under the "imagep plan" the vast majority of us would pay less in taxes.
