taxes, taxes, more taxes, taxes...


About a week ago, we had a discussion about taxes. We talked about our opinions on the taxing of high income and low income. Some said that the taxes should be equal for both and others said that people should be taxed based on the amount of their income. I think there are two ways of looking at it:

1. The taxes should be the same for both incomes. The people who have a higher income have worked their way there and earn their money and it should not be taken away from them because they are successful.

2. People who are at the high income level may have inherited their money. Also, the low income people are trying to better themselves and by making money and having it taken away from they, they cannot do that.

These two different views have caused a lot of controversy over they years because neither is right or wrong.

What are your views on this topic and why?

How do you think this issue affects ones political stance?
