Yes, survival costs in the US are easily covered by the small rich population,
so that even less tax breaks will still allow them to also have all the perks in
life they could want.
The larger population having a much more difficult time making a living need the
advantages of lower taxes, so they should have them.
Ignoring that situation, and unemotionally deciding that all should pay the same
percentage of their "income", is either a person who if it happens to them, will
STILL not have to worry about covering their expenses, or living so it wouldn't
matter to them personally - Or, it is people who actually believe the dumb
theory that the harder you work, the more you make - so those who complain at
the rich getting breaks, are one's who its their own fault for not working
harder. 100% bull*&%$. (Same crowd usually believes the theory "you get what
you pay for", which is equally ridiculous).
