None will be taken. I opened this thread for opinions,
and all are valued and open for discussion.

I mean, just because someone is successful doesn't mean they should pay for those that are less successful to not try to better their own lives with their own 2 hands.

Being America, and being American I can see how hard it is to better your
life with your hands. I would love to be able to and bring myself into the
higher class, but with things like college being so expensive Its not as easy
as people wish it could be to move into that class. And I for one can not afford
that luxury. Many can and I know that, for those less fortunate I know there are
loans but me for example, Im nineteen and already in dept over my head...
I can't even think about adding more to that.

And not to sound mean or anything, but it's all about effectively using the American opportunities to get where you want to go, which some do more than others.

I understand what you mean about the taxing.
And those with more not being taxed less is fortunate for making it that far.
But that all goes back to my above statement. How far can you really go
without the proper education?

metalgear08 Wrote:Actually, that's a good idea. I mean, everyone is equal in America, they should be taxed a flat percentage, rather than some dynamic thing depending on how much you made that month.

I agree, as I said that's the only thing that makes me go "hmmm"
