[quote=GUEST08376,452660]I cannot speak for other countries in this world, I am from America, but here, what it really comes down to is this. You either believe in capitalism (free market economy, and I absolutely do) or you do not. If you do, then it does not make sense to punish achievement through over taxation. In America, 47% of the population pays NO income taxes, while the richest top 10% already pay more than 90% of the taxes. If you continue to tax them more and more, you will not solve the problems of the poor, you will just eliminate the rich and destroy any incentive people have for trying hard to become successful and, yes, eventually to become rich. Why would anyone want to work hard if someone else is going to take away their wealth anyway? And no, not all rich people get rich by stealing others' money. Steve Jobs got rich because he had talent and worked hard. And there are millions of others as well who have discovered their innate talent, developed it, worked hard, become successful, and eventually rich. Some people think that is what the American Dream is all about. Actually, that is not quite right. The American dream is living in a place where you are free to do as you please, to think your own thoughts, express them freely without fear, and pursue your dreams without too much interference from others. And yes, this freedom carries with it the right to make good and bad choices, but it also carries with it the responsibility to live with your decisions. In short, you have the right to succeed or fail. There are no guarantees.[/quote]
