Since we have a graduated income tax, “rich people” pay the same tax on their first $50,000 that the middle class does. And the same tax on the first $100,000 that the upper middle class does. And the same tax on the first $200,000 that the top 5% of earners do. So there’s this…
Republicans keep saying they’re trying to save small-business people like me from paying these higher income taxes. Don’t listen to them, Lord. I really, really want to be a small-business man who qualifies to pay a higher tax rate by actually netting more than $200,000 a year. That would please me greatly, and your help there would be much appreciated.
Amen.
