Trying to teach them you can't spend more money then you have. Even though the average family is in Debt therefor spending more then they make.

By some of the answers they skipped school can't read nor understand. Facts as you state the Richer pay a higher percentage, the poor pay none in fact they get a rebate not their money the richer give them for not earning enough the liberal way its the money us tax payers pay and I work for it they don't,  most. The ones that try I don't mind helping but not forever. You are not my dependent

It is alarming how misinformed most people are about the Federal income tax and all other state and local taxes.  The "Rich" pay in excess of 80% of federal individual income taxes.  The "Rich" pay close to 40 cents of every dollar they earn in Federal and State income taxes.  If you want to talk "fair," how fair is it for someone to work hard in school and then life and then fork over almost half of what they make to someone else.  The "Rich" also pay more than the majority of all local property taxes.  The "Poor" are eligible for the EITC which gives them back more money than they pay in federal income taxes.  Most "poor" people really resent the "wealthy" not the "rich."  If a "Rich" person stops working, she will no longer be "Rich" and will be eligible for the same EITC that "Poor" people receive.  The "Wealthy" never have to work another day in their lives and if smart, never pay the taxes that the "Rich" do.  I blame the misinformation mostly on CPAs like myself who don't do a very good job at telling our complaining clients to shut up and try working a little smarter.

$200? shoot, if everyone in this place would just send me $1, I'd have several thousand.\n\nCan anyone out there spare a buck?

C. 5%\nI think. Because 5% of 120,000 is 6,000, and it went up 6,000 dollars.

If you gave each of them a dollar back, that means you only borrowed 98 dollars, not 100. So subtracting 97 from 100 is not right. You need to subtract 97 from 98, which is the 1 dollar in your hand. You only said "I gave 1.00 to one of my  friends and another 1.00 to my other friend [now, i only have 1.00 left]..."

I don't know what article you read, probably propagana for whatever purpose the writer only knows. I'm over 40 years old, and out of all the people I've ever met in my entire lifetime, maybe 1 or 2 had a million dollars in savings. I've probably met almost a million, and the ones that had a million, were driving in their car past me. (if I ever did meet anyone with a million, I didn't know it).

I wonder how many of you know that 5% unemployment is an ambiguous figure. There are many more people then that unemployed that are no longer eligible for unemployment and they aren't counted. Just like the votes in Florida.

I know that this was the case in Canada and possibly other Commonwealth countries but I'm not sure it applied everywhere. The most official place to check would be the Bank Act (the federal legislation that sets up banking and establishes the standards that must be met).  If it is on line it will be linkable from the federal website.  Since cheques have to be MICR encoded now, the act has probably been changed but maybe not.

Unfortunately, you're right. Most people don't seem to realize that less than 1% of the population makes over $100,000 per year. The left keeps saying we need to tax them more, but it does the least.\n\n\nWhat the gov. needs to do is stop spending!

The system is imbalanced.  If you don't have money you don't have the same representation, that would make it a bit unjust.  However, the system is much better than other nations systems.  That doesn't mean we can't work on it, and the best place to work on it is by becoming part of it.
