  Is it ethical to make rich pay more taxes?

  i'm having trouble getting behind the idea of making rich people pay more taxes just because they have more.. aside from the obvious: "i'm not rich so lets tax them instead of me.

  " the three reasons i hear most often are:.

  1: they may have "earned" their wealth but they don't deserve it!.

  But engaging in activity with no economic value other than lowering tax liabilities is probably not going to be a big net job creator when compared with investing in the economy.

  Agreed.

  My point was to counter the argument that increasing taxes just sends the high rollers to seek out loopholes. Fine, at least we have some chance of re-couping those tax dollars.

  Yes. Even if they find tax shelters - oftentimes those shelters result in the unintended consequences (I'm sure) of - TA DA! Job creation!

  I set out a few months ago to lose a few pounds by changing my metabolism. I've always worked out, stretching, weights, walking, floor work, etc., so it was a matter of increasing those activities and adding more cardio. I chose Zumba (aerobic street dancing) and kickboxing. Also started doing pilates. Usually, I did one or two one-hour classes during the day 5+ days per week plus an additional one-hour class in the evening 4 nights a week - so working out 2 - 3+ hours 5 - 6 days per week, plus 18 holes of golf a couple times per week.

  My diet is high-fiber, lots of fruit, veg, lean protein, no bread, very little starch. Gave up alcohol for 3 weeks. Nothing radical. I steadily lost a pound per week for three months - a total of 13 pounds. Here's the great part - even though I've pulled back on the exercise routine a bit (never intended to keep up that pace permanently!) and relaxed my diet a bit, I have maintained my weight loss - which is why I think I actually changed my metabolism. I will be doing this routine periodically so as to maintain the weight loss.

  election year is approaching.

  are we ready for the political campaigns?

  for those who vote, does it really matter whether we vote democrat or republican?.

  I especially like when they are sitting on their lawn chairs with tea bags hanging off their visors. Just like the Founding Fathers.

  I can make this prediction: Bizzy Bee is NOT self-employed, has NEVER taken that risk in its life, is too lazy, too un-motivated and to stupid to do that, and lives safely in some job doing next-to-nothing for a wage and benefits that is nearly double what it could get in the private sector because, frankly, Bizzy Bee doesn't have the chops to make it in the private sector. She works in or close to the Government!

  Farkel, you couldn't be more wrong.

  I am now comfortably retired, but was previously self-employed as a business writer.

  "The Tea Party was the Founding Fathers' worst fear - people ignorant of the way the world works come to power."

  Think about it.

  Bill Clinton was a liberal? Hardly. A centrist is ever there was.
