Although Grover Norquist, the dissolution of the Committee on anti-promise, and the popularity of super clear Herman Cain's 9-9-9 flat tax proposal, I would bet that most Americans agree with the position of philosophy are OK to lean on the rich with the marginal tax rates for higher pay for minor things, such as highways, military, and social security.
We disagree over just how tough the Government should lean, and Government services that are actually needed. We also disagree over the proper, considered to be rich.
I was reminded of this fact reading the comments one commenter argues that the "Millionaire's tax" is not a proper name, and that we should "call it ' the ' tax otherwise. Thousandaire" Many readers seem to feel that it's not fair for those who earn $ 200,000 with the uber-rich.
I am not opposed to the more progressive system that will better differentiate Thousandaires from half-millionaires, billionaires and millionaires of. As I mentioned in my blog post, Sheldon Silver, speaker of the Assembly of the State of New York, has proposed replacing the current surcharge with a millionaire "properly" taxes on individuals with incomes over $ 1 million. That's not a bad compromise if Mr. Cuomo or others need one.
But I would also like to point out that if You get a $ 200,000, or your family took in $ 300,000, You do very well. I highly recommend the Wall Street Journal a widget that tells You what percentage you are in based on income. Your household income is $ 300,000, if you are above 3 percent.
