The top 1% of earners in the US pay nearly 46% of the income taxes. Thats a fair share in my mind. In contrast nearly 50% of US citizens don't even pay income taxes..is that a fair portion? The only way for 50% of the nation to continue not paying income taxes is to raise income tax rates on households making over $250K. No wonder it has so much support. If you want to have a say in this country you should have to contribute.

almost half of americans don't pay income taxes. is that fair? don't think so.....

rich people; hmmmmm; that's a relative term, isn't it. if your making $250 a week, then someone making $500 a week may be rich to you. most people who are really "rich" pay their fair share of taxes; plus they create jobs for millions of people. get it yet?
the only fair way is to eliminate the current system for the most part and start taxing consumption. this way we are taxed fairly. everyone should pay taxes; everyone.

When Obama filled out his tax return he did not pay enough taxes either and used allot of deductions.
