TBJ,
Have you ever heard of the graduated tax system. 15% would be jsut fine. But the higher your income the higher % you pay. Right now it is not 15% it is 35% to just the Fed. If I make more I should pay more but not 35% to 15%. Under OB it would be 42% just for the Fed. Then, from there you pay prop tax, sales tax, L&I, unemployment, B&O, medicare, SSI, evan death tax and all the insurances.......pretty soon you are working your a$$ off and almost paying to do it. No person in this country should have to pay more than 25% of what they make to the Fed much less 42%. 15% would be a dream.
