So what !!! They earned it ... why do YOU think the government should penalize their success and take more? If you feel the government needs more money, they send it to them. Why is it that losers like you only want others that have worked hard and achieved success to be penalized with higher taxes.
They create jobs for losers like you and spend a lot more that keeps the economy going and many others employed. They invest that allows others to borrow to start or grow businesses that employ others.
As for being relative ... individuals and families adjust their life style based on their success. Yes there is a point that they have accumulated so much it does not matter ... but I still do not understand why you feel that success should be penalized and the government take even more. It is NOT the governments money ... what don't you get !!!!
And while I am not going to waste my time checking your facts ... no one pays the marginal rate ... yes the tax structure allows deductions that are intended to help certain industry segments like donations and contributions to the needy, churches, the arts and other not for profit organizations ... also housing and investments. Yes, people do take advantage of them and are rewarded through tax credits.
Don't forget those greedy successful people also DO NOT get tuition credits, grants for education, their itemized deductions and exemptions phased out due to their success.
Jellyfish ... it is not the governments money and it is not right to penalize successful people because the government spends too much and is too big.
As for unemployment ... I feel for people out of work this long because of Obama and the democrats failed policies. If they were not so irogant and focused on the wrong things, we would not be in this situation for so long (that they created in the first place) and they probably would not have been wiped out in the house this past election. But there does need to be an end to extending unemployment. It is hard, but it also penalizes small businesses the hardest (most large businesses self fund unemployment and pay no unemployment taxes) which creates more unemployment. So when does it stop ... the government only takes, they do not produce. And while many people want a good job, their are jobs out there, but not at the level they want. So does that mean we keep taking more from businesses and taxing more so they can wait until that higher paying job comes along?
