Quote:However, where is the line drawn when someone is no longer "aiding to the betterment of society" and they are subject to un-fair taxation?  Why should someone that actually earns more money pay a larger portion of their earnings to government?

This is a very fair argument and one that absolutely has to be had. I do, as of now, prescribe to the idea that all taxes ought be equal in % Of course that means you make more you pay more, you make less you pay less. I also understand, as Eric has pointed out before, that there is drawbacks to doing a straight flat tax rate. It's very complicated and yes a line must be drawn, I agree with you there. I am not expert and have no clue how it could be done. In fact the extent to which I know about taxes is if you own a business you get a ton of tax breaks that I do not get because I work for someone.
