I called my congressman today to demand a hike in the federal income tax, have

[sergbelxx]

U done so too? I called for the following:

Any income earned beyond $500,000 to be taxed at 38%. Any income earned over $600,000 to be taxed at 40%. Any income earned over $700,000 to be taxed at 45%. Any income taxed over one million dollars to be taxed at 50%. Any income taxed at $3 million dollars to be taxed at 55%. Any income over $7 million dollars to be taxed at 60%. Any income over $10 million to be taxed at 65%.. any income over $20 million to be taxed at 70%...and lastly any income over $50 million dollars to be taxed at 80%.
I also called for tax cuts for all small business making less than $500,000 net profit and the removal of tax loopholes so that corporations can actually pay the taxes they used to pay before being able to avoid them as they do now.

I told them that I want superlarge corporations that make profits in excess of 5`billion dollars to have a tax hike that actually discourages corporations from being too big.
I demanded tax credits of up to 5% of the cost of any car purchased that does not use any fossil fuel at all...not even biofuels.

Government has already proven woefully incompetent when it comes to spending tax payer money in a way that benefits me (or maybe it is just incredibly competent in taking actions that benefit the richest 1%). Why give them more money? How about the government cut it's spending so it doesn't have to keep taking more away from the tax payers? If I may, I'd like to suggest we get our troops out of all of the countries where they have no place being in and stop trying to maintain a world empire. That'd save lots of money.

No, I did not. I think our employers should send all of our paychecks to the government, and then the government can send back to us what they don't need.
