Whenever there is talk about increasing taxes on the "rich" the question at what income level is one considered "rich"? The term is a gray area that results in increased taxes on progressively lower levels of income over time. The Fair Tax will answer this question by empowering people of all income levels to determine the amount of tax they wish to pay. Fair Tax ping!
Even that dodges the real question -- why should any tax code be tailored to favor or punish a speciic group?
