| No tax system is "fair". Someone gets the bad end of the deal in each situation, but in the status quo it happens to be the "rich", whoever they are. | |||||||||||||||||||||

I'm sure we could find the average income level of Americans pretty easily. Then we could find the average cost of living pretty easily. Those that make say 3 or 4 times the average cost of living would be... WEALTHY!!!!!! It would probably fall around $200,000 and above or so. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- "There is no such thing as laziness. Laziness is only lack of incentive."

| Current standards of rich is about 160k per year for a married couple I think. If I'm not mistaken, that is where all of the credits and deductions are phased out. This changes annually and as I haven't graduated I don't have access to Lexus/Nexus that an Accounting firm would have. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Sounds like a fair income level to consider rich to me. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- "There is no such thing as laziness. Laziness is only lack of incentive."

| "I assume that no man by his own industry and exertion can honestly earn an annual income for a long period of years of over $25,000, and the rule is in nearly all cases, so far as my knowledge extends of persons in the United States receiving incomes of over $25,000, that their incomes come to them without exertion on their part or through some unfair and vicious system, where special privileges have been obtained either by legislation, combines, or speculations, where multitudes have been overreached, and the products of their labor been gathered in by the few." — Congressman T.

So is that the amount that it takes for someone to be considered rich???? dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- | ||||||||||||||||||||||

But Robin Hood has been corrupted. For he started as an outlaw, some claim a murderer. However, his story has been romanticized over the years. But the original tales told of a good Catholic who revered the Virgin Mary and who stole from the corrupt within the church. Somewhere over the years, it has been changed to Robin Hood who stole from the rich to give to the poor. But that was not truly the case either. Robin Hood stole from the government to give back to the people. Ah how true of good ole Ragnar Danneskjöld!!!! It is time to take that story back. dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology.
