39. Not so
Now you are trying to say that the country will stay the same. No, with the changes that are being made will increase are income and bring in a deficit reduction. See the problem is the disparity in the tax set up anyway it is a myth that top five percent control all the jobs. It has also long known that a secretary making 18k will give up more of her wages in taxes than someone who earns that hundred thousand dollars. Their standard of living is different. Its like the public schools. Go to the public school in the poorest neighborhood in your community. Then go across to the more affluent side of town, and check out their public school. Any difference? Now you say yes there is a difference. Most of us know that but there should be no difference public school should be public school no matter where its located. Get it? You see you are trying to validate the fact the deficit needs to be under control and that people who are at the top have some given right to retain more of their money while suck those who are less fortunate dry. What I am trying to get you to understand is the dynamics when you have more people working and insured its healthier for the nation as a whole because the average wealthy person loses more money in loss productivity and health care cost.The problem is collectively we have more buying power and spending power by being in the majority instead of the minority.And right now the top five percent must also bear some of the responsibility for the mis managements in Government and its regulations because they have benefited the most. And if you are making the kind of money that they are I can understand your reluctance. I might not agree with it but I understand it. No one wants to be poor everybody wanna be rich.
