I just cannot find any justification why people with more money have to pay a larger chunk of taxes.
and you do realize that 98% of the tax revenue is paid by the top 2% of money earners in the US ?

What was so awful about his flat tax idea? Not trying to be a smartass, just want some informed opinions.

She supports me and my sister(only two kids) she has been married since she was 17 to my dad haha, and they both live in roseville

If you took that same percentage from someone making 30k a year... They couldn't even whipe their *** with 18ishk a year, so how the hell are you going to tax them the same amount as someone making tons more money?
sure you will pay more taxes because you earn more, but why do we have to drain them of any extra money just because they earned it ?

And my parents certainly don't get tax cut after tax cut???Anything over 10% is considered high taxes in my book. You realize you're working 3 months a year just for the government.
Also, I don't get why people cry about "rich people" getting tax cuts, most people worked hard for that money and they don't deserve to get taxed more.

Edit: and I lived there for four years fyi, it was a joke, and all canadians think its a joke, most people there pay to go to private doctors for fear of going to a free healthcare center.
