That was the poll I referenced FReeping!! How is "fair" even a word to use to describe trying to lower your taxes? Are we already in a communist country?!

So the IRS will counter with ‘imputed income’ based on ‘capacity to earn’ just as courts do now for parents that must pay child support.

‘Imputed Income’ could be the next brick in the socialist wall.

Impressive results:

Lawyers, dentists and entrepreneurs are among some high-earning professionals brainstorming ways to decrease their pay to dodge a proposed tax increase on incomes over $250,000.

Is it fair for people to reduce high salaries to sidestep President Obama’s tax proposal?

Yes. I also would find ways to decrease my salary to avoid taxes. - 4,769

Yes. Why should ordinary folks, even those making $250K, pay when big corporations get bailed out. - 1,857

No. The rich have had too many tax breaks. They should be ashamed for finagling the system. - 466

No. I have to pay high taxes and so should that high-income bracket. They can afford it. - 214

Total Vote: 7,306
