    Somehow, the public needs to see the already steep tax rate curve (vs income).

    The issue is the slope, not whether the top is paying the lion’s share.

    I agree, the general public needs to see and understand more about the disproportionate tax rates (Karl Marx must be smiling) but I’m not convinced yet that they would even understand or care. For some reason, people seem to hate others with money – even though people without money strive to have as much as possible.

    It really well shows why Democrat’s tax ideas are flawed.

    As many of you know all those in the house and senate took an oath of office, to uphold and protect our Constitution and that our Constitution is the foundation of our rights and freedom. This is our law, if you break the law most certainly we would be arrested and thrown in jail, hopefully all of you can understand we should not start making exemptions. Within our Constitution, congress is limited to particular enumerated powers and in the preamble it is clearly stated that these powers are only for the general welfare. Which means that all are equal depositors of the federal government and we must all benefit equally as this was the original intent of our Constitution. It is clarified in the MA state Constitution as, no man, nor corporation, or association of men, have any other title to obtain advantages, or particular and exclusive privileges, distinct from those of the community. Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity and happiness of the people; and not for the profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men. If they are not following our Constitution then it is fair to ask what doctrine are they following, progressive taxation, the death tax, healthcare and more can be found in the Communist Manifesto, Marxism.
