[QUOTE]Originally posted by Right: [QB] Wow. Interesting. The nation is in debt because of Reagan. It's how we defeated the Soviets -- we outspent them. I'm not saying its a bad thing, although now we have to worry about lots of little countries with nukes instead of one big one -- but to pretend the debt isn't in large part due to the "outspend" them mentality of the Reagan Administration is foolish. What is "Fair"? You can't define "fair" on moral terms, because morality is different for everyone. Certainly, I would agree that if a person makes more, they should contribute more. I've got absolutely no problem with the taxes I pay because I make more than enough to pay my bills, put some in savings, and have a grand old time. And if you're wondering? I am in the upper tax bracket (not the 1%, the 10% I think ... $100,000 or more?). Now, both you Omega and you JeffK need to chill out. JeffK, telling Omega to pull his head out of his ass wasn't very nice. Omega, you're being very childish calling people a different "species" because they look at things differently than you. How very intolerant. Grow up, both of you. So, speaking for the "upper class", I for one don't see anything wrong with the taxes -- how are they discriminatory? Okay, we pay a bit more, but it's not like we're RESTRICTED to what we can or can't do. If anything, we've still got more freedom then most people to do what we want to do when we want to do (work and school permitting). Sure I'm not going to bitch about a tax cut (who would?) but I'm not going to bitch if I don't get one. Fact of the matter is, I'll still be paying proportiantly higher taxes than the less fortunate, and that is FINE (and fair) with me. I grew up rather poor, and I've got no problems paying a bit extra to make the country a better place. Charity? How would anyone guarentee that someone paid anything to charity? Would they have a choice between giving money in taxes or giving to charity? Seems like it'd just be a different organization getting the money, so no real big difference there. Well, I've got to run. Adieu. Try and keep yourselves from imploding. Oh, Omega, dismissing other concerns about the tax plan isn't a good idea. They are valid, and Greenspan HAS been wrong (quite frequently) in the last year or two. Do some research, don't believe what people tell you. Go to the library and LOOK STUFF UP.
