The total amount sounds excessive, but when you factor in the fact that it is meant to cover training, practice and on duty usage for an entire year it really isn't that much. I us... |

| 1) I don't understand how saying that the ultra-rich are bandits, cheats and swindlers is an argument not to tax them. I think it means we should put them in jail for avoiding paying their share. . The main qualification to just what is a "fair share" is to be armed and for the prospective victim n... |

| Well, bear in mind that taxes pay for more than health and education. Those may be two big ticket items but they are not exclusive. Your economy is very heavily driven by your military expenditure, both on direct transfers (service members' and public servants' salaries) and procurement. This stand... |

| In the year 1950 for example, if you made $200,000 or more, your tax rate was 91% Frankly I wouldn't mind seeing taxes go back to that rate. Even adjusted for inflation. If you make $200,000 a year and are taxed at a rate of 91%, that will leave you with $18,000. Why even bother working? That isn't... |
