The government will continue to take more money from the rich AND middle class as long as we are okay with the idea of services provided at the barrel of a gun. Propaganda is the only thing propping up the idea of government. ALL taxes are theft.

Why should someone making a zillion dollars pay tax on that zillion dollars when they only spend $200,000?? There is no benefit to earning that money, only in spending it! If I am taxed on what I spend, there is a direct connection in the taxes. So everyone spending the same amount of money is taxed the same way. And for those of you who say this is regressive, the FAIR tax provides an automatic rebate TO EVERYONE, so more you spend, the more you are taxed. You are in complete control of your taxation. Want to enjoy your your money? Great spend it and pay the tax. FAIR TAX.

Its the 35% federal, 10% state (in some states), city taxes in some places, social security taxes that slowly add up on your earned income that is annoying people. the very wealthy have options to shelter their income like splitting it up amongst different entities, retirement vehicles and trusts. Its just the high paid wage earners that typically get screwed. I don’t think anyone is complaining about the 15% capital gains tax on investments.
