Re: From Tammy Baldwin: Pass The Buffett Tax Rule, Join the Coalition

About 50% of Americans don't pay any tax... why should those that do
pay have to pay more to support those won't work?? Unless you are
elderly or disabled there should be no "public assistance".

Buffet neglects to tell you that his income is now derived from
investment income... he already paid taxes on that money at a 35% or
more rate... he is now paying ANOTHER 15-20% tax on top of that. This
is patently unfair... a tax that specifically targets people because
they are successful and hire others.. only to give it to idiots that
won't work...
