Eat the rich?
Should rich people pay more taxes than others?
There are four sub-questions here:
1. Should everyone pay the same flat amount? Why or why not?
2. Should everyone pay the same percentage amount? Under this system, if the amount is 10% for everyone, you pay $1,000 if you make $10,000 and you pay $10,000 (ten times as much) if you make $100,000.
3. Should we have graduated tax rates, so you pay a higher rate if you make more money?
4. Should people below a certain income level pay no taxes at all? What level? Wesley Clark is proposing $50,000.
