Reply #17: Yes! Income tax should definately be progressive...

Why?

Our current tax system steals from the poor and middle class and gives to the rich. The people who are top income earners usually benefit disproportionately from government spending. For example, people like Cheney, when he was a former CEO of Halliburton, probably benefited more from government spending than 10,000 needy families 'benefited' while on TANF.

I truly think people would be sickened to know how much public money is used to subsidize U.S. corporations (and to line the pockets of the pigs that control them). Thus corporate costs are socialized by as while their profits are privatized by a few.

Furthermore, I think it should include a top rate of 90%!
