High earners ALREADY pay the lion's share of federal tax. Low earners ALREADY pay no federal tax. In fact many people get a 'refund' of more than they paid in. How dang hard is that to understand?
I'm not rich by any stretch, but I don't want the government taking Warren Buffet or anyone else's money and giving it to me. I want the federal government to be brought into check and shrunk drastically.

Millionaires are spending private money, the federal government is spending trillions of our tax dollars. Who should be taken to task?
