I don't know about anyone else, but when I hear "tax breaks for the wealthy," I tend to think corporations more than individuals, and when I do think individuals, I tend to think those who make BIG money, millions every year, multi millionaires. If one is making that much money, does one need a tax break? The problem with flat tax ideas is that a poor man's fair share impacts at a greater level. When gas goes to $3.00/gallon, a man who makes $30,000 per year feels it much more than one who makes $300,000 per year.

I couldn't agree more. That's the only way the government could work. I'm sick and tired of hearing about the rich getting taxed more. The Bush administration has put our country so far in debt it may take 50 years to get out of the hole. It's time for a change. By the way I'm a Democrat.
