Tax the Rich
Petition Text
Our tax code is broken and things could be much more equal in the way we tax folks. In the past we taxed wealthly Americans at 90% on the highest portion of their taxes. Even if wewere to tax rich Americans at 75%, our economy would be changed drastically for the better. In addition, it would be possible to repair our infrastructure, we could have universal health care, a college education could be free.
Wealthy folks should pay more in taxes because they use more services from transportation services, communication services, along with many other services. Yes, this is a fact, the rich have many houses, boats, planes, and thus they put more demands on goods and services in our communities, and they should help pay for those costs. The poor and working folk should not have to pay taxes for the rich.

Why is this important?
Working folks should not have to work two jobs to make a basic subsistence living. We cannot make our economy work for all when the rich are not being taxed. It is time the rich pay their share of taxes.
