Low taxation of those who relax all day? They pay the same income taxes everyone else does. Sure, many of them don't pay SS or Medicare taxes, but they won't be using those services, either.
Unless you think they actually take more from the country (the public, not their accumulated wealth) than they contribute, wouldn't it just cost more to lose them?
why didn't theresa heinz kerry release her tax statements? because if she had, it would show what people at those levels really earn from passive sources, and what they pay.
no one else gets a choice to opt out of SS and medicare taxes if they "won't be using those services" - why don't I get that choice?
we have two new tax ideas floating around DC now - taxes on employer provided health benefits, and a lifting of the income cap for SS taxes. again and again, they keep coming back to the W2 wage earner for more. let's branch out a little.
