[QUOTE="804brown, post: 886598, member: 29553"] If Steve Jobs was as rich in the 1950s, he would have been taxed at around 90% rate. It is about fairness. Warren Buffet pays a lower tax rate then his own secretary. That is because the rich and powerful send in their lobbyists to buy them special legislation for this to happen. Listen, in the 1990s when our country had peace and prosperity under Clinton, rates were 39.6% . Some want to increase the current 35% to that 39.6% and are called socialists by the reactionaries protecting the 1% . But you are on to something. It is the $$ that flows into Washington and every state house in this country. If you truly want to clean up politics and have a true congress that represents we the people then we should implement a system of public financing of our elections (at every level). When our reps cant be bought be the rich and powerful (even union in theory), they will be forced to do ther right thing!! [/QUOTE]
