I am so sick of hearing about taxing those with six figure incomes. Did you know that 60% of the population pays 6/10 of the income tax and that the top 1% earners pay 40%? When I hear that they want to start taxing property based on income, I want to sell my house and run away.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, what your money buys you varies tremendously in this country. When my gas and electric bill approached $800 per month, and it costs me and my husband about $150 per WEEK for the gas to commute back and forth to work (not to mention tolls), and my recently reassessed home is running me $1200 per MONTH in property taxes, why should anyone get one more dollar?? My husband and I work hard for every penny we make, so I don't want to hear about anybody raising taxes.

I know that Goombah is probably right and taxes will have to be raised to pay for the enormous debt that has been run up, I shudder at the idea of how much more this is going to cost us.
