Wes,

Sounds to me like you not only want to tax yearly incomes but also want to tax accumulated wealth. Hmm, that sounds suspiciously like........communism?

You know there is absolutely no one holding you back from pitching an extra $1,000 per week into the pot of the US Treasury. Then you can live in this great country with a free concience that you have paid "your fair share". That would have to be a far better feeling than you determining what everyone else's "fair share" is and would be much less hypocritical. I've got a daughter and son in law who have both been out of work for 3 months. I've bailed them out and saved their home, not the government. Should I not get credit for that? Of course I'm willing to send you their address so that you can help out with your "fair share" if you're that adamant about it.
