The BUFFETT Rules - for our American friends only

[InbetweenDreams]

I say we tax the living snot out of the rich.

I like the idea of the flat tax... 10% is 10%... If you make $30,000 you owe $3,000, if you make $300,000 you owe $30,000. If you make nothing you owe nothing.

I think someone who say starts a new business, is very successful because they had a good idea or invented a new product and makes a lot of money shouldn't necessarily be punished for being successful. Now these arses to trade stock all day and make a pile of money, run a bank, etc. Ought to be taxed. Banks are evil, period.

How can you call it a bank when I put my money in an account and when I want it I get charged a service fee because I don't have $5,000 in savings? Or because my employer pays me by a check instead of a direct deposit? Oh but my savings account earns interest... I might have got $0.20 in the last 3-4 years... it's a joke.

Banks impose a steep tax on poor people. I mean $35 for NSF? I mean I get that a bank has to make a certain amount of money to operate but I would honestly be better off not having an account but I have to have one if I am going to want things like a car..
