Half the people in America aren't paying their share. That's bullshit. They won't want to pay the 999 plan because then they would actually have to pay something. I bet people will start bitching more about this, poor people, instead of using it is incentive to do better.
Do you know who came up with the idea of progressive taxation?

I'm part of the 53% that fucking pays for everything while the 47% bitch and moan. How the fuck can anyone bitch when they pay NO INCOME TAXES? WTF? Pay your share. Then we will all be in the 100% and I won't hate you so much for being a fucking loser that can't even afford to pay for your own stuff.
The economic disparity in the top percentile is greater than that found in the rest of the population. Much greater.
So tell me, how many offshore bank accounts do you have?
