Everyone should pay the same percentage and there should be no deductions.

The rich receive the same "services" from their taxation as the poor do. Perception is the difference, along with ability for the rich to not have to wait for available public service but hire private services.

Income taxes shouldn't exist.
ETA: To answer your question:
Should they pay a higher percentage? No.
Should they pay a higher amount? I don't see how it's possible for them not to.

The so-called rich have lawyers that they pay to shelter a lot of their income.
IMHO, a fair tax or a consumption tax is the best alternative to what we have now.

Should be balanced across the board, but there should be no loop holes or tax havens where someone can live through a corporation and only take a small salary for tax and social security purposes, but live large through their corporation which owns and pays for everything. Some name less churches even do this.
Tax capital gains at a flat rate, just the increase in value.

Here's a helpful hint - they're progressive when it comes to your money, not theirs. They will abandon liberal causes in a heartbeat if they ever perceive the middle class to have grown tired of sheltering them from the realities of their own politics. IOW - we are their useful idiots like blacks are the useful idiots of the Left.
Propose taxing Buffett's donations to the Gates' Foundation at just the normal income rates everyone else is docked, and watch him scream bloody murder. Hell just tax the funds targeted for overseas expenditures, and he'd launch.

Absolutely not

But can the government survive on 10 percent. tithe.
And does that include state and local or are we talking 10% for Uncle Sam, 10% for the state, and 10% for local government. That is 30 percent. You tack on the 10% for the church can you survive on 60 percent of your income.

same percent is only fair across the board...real question should be why don't the perpetually poor pay for their drain on the system...instead of a tax, maybe it could be being stopped after 3 kids from 3 different donors
instead of pulling down the wealthy, we should help pull up the poor
Corporate welfare costs the average middle class person way more than social welfare. Being auto-programed to defend the rich and hate the poor is a built in design of the system.

A percentage tax already accounts for higher earners. Our tax is a double “progressive” tax.

I'm cool with removing the cap on social security and medicare tax. Partly because of efficiency and logic and partly because DC has fiscally mismanaged those programs to the point it is now a necessity.
Income tax just needs to be simplified. Trump's reforms helped but there is still work to do.

thanks Dr freud...eventually people have to pull themselves up, you feeling sorry for them or blaming doesn't help them...In this country we want people to pay more but we never ask people to stop being a burden. The government is not some peoples daddy and not others, all need to get off the tit

Personally, I think the "rich should pay more in taxes" is the most idiotic thing spoken in politics.
LINK Top 3% pays over 50% of taxes
quote:Just a mere 1,400 people pay more tax than 70,000,000 other people COMBINED. Tell me again who isn't paying a "fair" share of the government's cost?
Richest 1,409 taxpayers pay more income tax than bottom 70Mln
And before anyone says "yeah but they have all the income"...

I don’t know why anyone would trust the gov with more of someone else’s money.

Doing this makes it painful for the lower income who will then demand less govt along with the upper income who already do.
This is my proposal. If you’re paying 10% of your income for Obamacare, maybe you realize Obamacare isn’t the answer. If you can shift the cost to the top 10% of the earners, then Obamacare sounds like a great answer.
