It appears that many people are afraid to say that billionaires should pay more taxes.

Why should they pay more taxes? They already pay more than their fair share. The top 1% income tax payers pay 24% of all income taxes. The top 20% pay 85% of all income taxes, and the bottom 45% pay zero!

I believe everyone should pay taxes, even if it's $5. That way everyone contributes and has skin in the game.

The difference between the incomes of half of Americans and the top 1% is, a factor of 1000%. Sure, the handful of people at the top pay a combined tax which comprises nearly 25% of total tax revenues, but that is vastly non proportional. It isn't a question of how much tax you pay, it's question of how much you pay on every dollar earned - which tells you how much you have left to live on.

A person making $50,000 gross, will pay an average of 22% effective tax, leaving them with $39,000 to live on. A person making $100,000,000 gross, will pay an effective tax rate of 11%, leaving them with $89,000,000 to live on. So, tell me; should our hearts bleed for someone with $89,000,000 to try and makes ends meet with? Bear in mind, 2/3 of the tax code, is comprised of special interest tax deductions, exemptions and credits, that only apply to the top 10%.

The uber rich spend a lot of money to get and keep those special tax breaks, money they should be paying AS taxes.

Nothing to be afraid of, billionaires pay for more than the average tax payer. Bet you wouldn't want more taxes taken. They earned it they should be allowed
to keep it.

You are full of shit! The tax rate on one million dollars is NOT just 11 percent. It is 39.6% on one million dollars. And THAT is only Federal Tax Rate.

You are so sad with your make believe numbers, that $100,000 goes a lot further in Seattle than Queens , do even think? After paying that tax in New York you'd have state,and local plus all the costs of living in that area.
