remove extra taxes on the top 1%

The top 1% of our country should be taxed the same percent of their salary, as anyone else in our country. Why should you have to pay a larger percent of your income just because you are making more money? Obama thinks that all taxpayers making over $250,000 should be taxed more than everyone else. I disagree with this. Everyone is an equal part of our country, therefore everyone should pay equally, no one needs to pay more taxes than their neighbors. Although this might mean that the middle and lower class's tax will go up slightly, I believe that it is worth it. We need to create a more balanced America. The top 1% shouldn't have to pay more than the middle class because they make a lot of money. They work just as hard as any of us to earn their money.
