How about this. Give us a basic low flat tax or national sales tax or something and do away with the IRS, etc. With the money the "rich" or small and large businesses save from these high tax rates they can hire millions of workers and our unemployment rate would decrease. I for one would hire several additional workers if I was not so heavily taxed. That makes a lot more sense then to tax the employers have the gov't keep 90% of it as administration cost then turn around and give the last 10% to the people in the form of some entitlement program so that the person doesn't have to work. This is not brain surgery, that is very very inefficient. Our country has become a nation of beggars who think they are entitled to some type of gov't funds. The truth is not one able bodied person should be getting money from the gov't in ANY form including medicare, social security, etc. Our country is one of the few countries in the world where all people have real opportunity and the very fact that someone lives here should be enough.
Put all of that aside and the real truth is I respect your opinion but I disagree with it 100%. It is my right to disagree with it and it is also my right to not be forced to live by your opinion. This country was founded by people who also were tired of having someone elses opinions and ideas of how they should live be forced upon them. That is why this country was founded as a republic, not a democracy. If there was a "New World" today I would be the first to migrate there to get away from the tyrany that this large government has become.
