What a hoot. Rich don’t pay taxes. When I ran a 60 man business consistently showed operating at loss..hello? China, Japan, UK’s majority owners of T-bills, secured by US land. Combine that with farming and manufacturing being hollowed out..big trouble for Americans. We need a return to local control, local production and to squash the rogue fed. The fed represents foreign interests and pilfers us with impunity. You want to live like slaves..stay on the Obama path..you want prosperity..we become close nit community taking care of each other.

According to the percentages of your survey it looks like about 1/2 the population wants the other 1/2 to support them. This is just another statistic that should support a flat tax. That way everybody pays and the rich no longer have to support the poor. Wealth redistribution is just another form of socialism. Dress it up and call it what you will it is still socialism. And with our new president it has only just begun.
