Letter: Nothing fair about rich paying millions more in taxes
|
It isIf a person pays $1 million in taxes in a lifetime, they have more than paid "their fair share." If a person pays a million dollars in taxes in a year, regardless of what percent it is of their income, this should be rewarded. If two people go to a movie, they both pay the same amount. They both pay "their fair share." If the leaders continue to insist on charging the rich more, then the rich will leave this country. They will put their money into some other economy and we will continue to loose jobs and status because of it. There is over $2 trillion in American corporate money sheltered overseas that could be brought back to the U.S. by offering to tax it at 10 percent. That is an instant $200 billion for the government to waste. It is immoral and un-American to steal money from those who work and give it to those who do not. Reach into your own pocket and not someone else's. K. Ross Newland, Milan
