For the last 30-40 years the 1% have been getting richer and the 99% have been getting poorer. We need to reform the income tax and other taxes for the middle class, so that we aren't paying the whole bill anymore. The economy isn't run by every American anymore. It's run by the people who are in top 1%. According to multiple sites, 83% of all U.S stocks are owned by the 1 percent. 61 percent of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck. How can we contribute to the economy if we have only enough to pay our bills, and give the rest in taxes? We need to have a tax that's fair to the middle class. The 1 percent needs to get taxed more, and we need to be taxed less. And if that means to cut on federal spending, then so be it. We need to get in control of taxes and spending.
