Why not be all Fair...!!



Why is it that the middle class and the poor have to pay up on high taxes when the rich pay very low tax rates??? 

That is a very good question is in it. On February 21, 2013  Published an Editorial on  Why Taxes Have to Go Up. On why it is crucial for a new and a need for a tax rate increase, that it is a needed step in order to achieve near term budget goals and for a healthy budget in the future. That we need a policy that it does not only benefits the rich, but brings equal standards for the middle class and the poor. In which I believe it makes sense, when it states that there are still people benefiting from the Bush-era Tax cuts  and that from then on we have been through deficit on and on for the last ten years.  It is true that we need to raise the tax rate on high-income Americans, in order for the Country to have fairness. Saying that 39.6% being the lowest tax rate being paid by the high income Americans (Historically Low ) in which they will preferably resist cut on spending, but which once again will bring a harsh cut on other things that are needed by those who don't  meet the standards that the rich have being bringing down on education, health and environment funds. We know that education funds has been dropped a lot from the last two years, but it is something that has always been happening, since the Republicans are for high tax but lower tax on mayor companies. Obama's justification to drop the deficit by mainly curbing the tax breaks which the high income Americans have, but why ? as always the Republicans don't want to give in. 

"But there will never be a consensus for more taxes from the middle class without imposing higher taxes on wealthy Americans, who have enjoyed low taxes for a long time."

Which would be a great set of standard, having the same taxes based on our income, or having the rich pay more.? As long as one day comes where the rich have a rise on their tax rate and so for the middle class and the poor to feel more at ease, for those that have the feeling that pay  more of what they make.

Makers, Takers, Fakers..!!! The Republican Party

             On January 28, 2013, the New York Times Published an article titled Makers, Takers, Fakers   Krugman, starts by pointing out that in the past Republicans would just shout out "Class Warfare" and scare all the rest of the parties and point out being better than any of them.But lately they have notices that they really have to change their image, meaning changing their sales pitch rather than their product, something they are not that willingly to do. Mr Jindal, a republican takes his speech “We must not...be the party that simply protects the well off so they can keep their toys. We have to be the party that shows all Americans how they can thrive.”, where he really didn't explain how and what can be done to demonstrate that they are really not all about letting the rich keep their toys (money), but claiming that their policies are the best.  But mean while back in Louisiana he is pushing for the states income tax to be cut off, something that falls heavenly on the poor and middle class. Not affecting them, by saying they will pay for it themselves. Having a reverse Robbin Hoodism- taking from the middle class and giving to the rich, by making it look something good but being bad truthfully.Paul Ryan made a transparently dishonest attempt saying that when he spoke of takers living off of the makers " that he didn't mean the people getting social security aid.They declare being a Populist party, but in reality they are not. Its something where people is just seeing what truly is that they want out for themselves mostly than the concern for the middle class.
