| Topic | American workers pay twice as much in taxes as the rich |

And if earned income and investments were taxed the same, that would fuck over pretty much 401k and retirement plan in the country. Most people who work full-time can afford a retirement plan if they live well within their means. After all, it's generally subsidized by their employer. And keep in mind that the less people rely on retirement planning, the more they'd need to fall back on government welfare which would only balloon the deficit further *especially* because the government is worse at long-term planning than many (if not most) people saving for retirement. Not because those people are good, but because the government is less responsible than the average teenager with a credit card. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...
