The Left keeps passing taxes which only apply to the poor. Obama's health care law was recently passed. It will tax the low and middle class about $2000 per family when it goes into effect. This tax won't affect the rich. Then there's medicare and social security. These add up to a 15% tax on the low and middle class. They don't apply on income over $100K. These taxes don't affect the rich. We have a regressive tax system in this country, and it just keeps getting worse with every new tax passed. I've worked my way up through this whole spectrum. Until I started making more than $100K, it felt like every time I was given a raise, it was taken away from me. It is quite discouraging, and is depressing society. The solution is to stop taking money from people against their will, using threats of violence. The idea that we can improve society if only we can threaten enough people, and take enough money from them, is preposterous. Craig
