Uh, half of the people getting paychecks, earn less than $50K. So, starting with that 50% go up to $100K brings it up to about 85% that are Peons. These people are already paying about 30% in taxes, the remaining 15% of people are paying about 20% in taxes. So yeah, there is a little bit of unfairness there. But like most all GOP ideas, it's fairness you can believe in.
Poll after poll shows that the American people want higher taxes. That's not the same as liking higher taxes. The people have simply concluded that higher taxes are preferable to the alternative -- so vividly portrayed in the Republican plan to do away with government guarantees in Medicare.
What do the American people think? A Quinnipiac poll found that 69 percent, including nearly half of Republicans, want taxes raised on households making more than $250,000. A later Ipsos/Reuters polls shows three-fifths wanting to raise taxes to cut the deficit RealClearPolitics - The People Want Higher Taxes
Wonder why the GOP is not listening to the American people.
As long as each American is taxed EQUALLY! The heck with over 250K.
Each American pays equally. No more income taxes, no more hidden taxes, no more agendas, no more hidey holes, a flat tax on all goods and services, paid equally by every single person in america.
If the American people demanded more for them and others pay for it... well, gee, really? Its stupid to assume otherwise.... I am sure they rather have zero bills to and have someone else pay for that... is that in shock? Are liberals that stupid to bring up polls to show that people would rather have more and have someone else pay for it? Who wouldn't want that?

How many households making over $250,000 voted? Were they represented in the polling? How many people who pay no income tax were represented in the voting? Ask your boss, what will happen to jobs in the company if his taxes are raised. Those on the public dime need not bother.

The people are completely stupid. The people got themselves in the trouble they're in. Now the people want someone else to pay for that.
exactly. i have yet to hear someone say, i cant wait for my taxes to go up so i can buy that new car, house, or what ever. i have also yet to hear a businessman say i cant wait for my taxes to go up so i can hire new employees. these things are just NOT said.

Of course, you do know that those who pay no income taxes would like to see the "rich", as they call them, pay more. When will we see them saying the same thing about all Americans although they don't pay taxes at all.
Very flawed poll since it used that $250,000 number since most people don't fall in that group.
Not sure if serious. Revenue (as % of GDP) are an all-time low. We DO have a revenue problem. However, I do agree that all the loopholes in the tax code have to be closed. And the Capital Gains tax could be increased or fixed because it's totally laughable that Buffett's secretary has a higher tax burden than him.
How about closing the very costly Earned Income Credit thing? Maybe then the lower classes could be paying something instead of getting money back for which they paid nothing.
