James Madison wrote in Federalist Paper 51: "It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. If a majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure."
We should all pay the same percentage of income tax. No deductions, pick a percentage.
This "tax those rich bastards" is morally wrong. We all should shoulder some burden for our government equally based on ability to pay. We are not a socialist country.
