Why should those who work harder and earn more money be forced to pay more in taxes?
Doesn’t that discourage people from making more money and trying hader in life? I know that many rich people cheat and steal to get their fortune, but what about the doctor that went to school for 10 years after high school and helps people feel better? Or the small business that doesn’t lobby in Washington that gives jobs to people? Why should they be punished more for helping more? This seems very ridiculous.
Can any liberals actually read the whole question before declaring that all rich people are crooks?

Why should one person own 45 billion dollars when there are millions starving at night. Its an issue of what’s fair.
Hard work doesn’t equate to making more money. A logical fallacy. How would you equate the “work” of people appearing on Dancing with the Stars and a person digging a ditch? Should a person dancing make more money per hour than a person digging a ditch?
Tax rates for the rich are the lowest since 1931.
Of course it’s absurd. Liberal drones have been told to believe this though. They rarely question their handlers.
Why should the bread winner in a household contribute more towards the standard of living of the rest of the family?
You’re stupid.
1st of all making more money has absolutely nothing to do with working harder. Nothing.
2nd you probably got all your money from your daddy so shut up.
“Since 1980, median real household income has risen less than 15 percent. The only period of strong middle-class income growth during this time came in the mid- and late 1990s, which by coincidence was also the one time when taxes on the affluent were rising.
“For most of the last three decades, tax rates for the wealthy have been falling, while their pretax pay has been rising rapidly. Real incomes at the 99.99th percentile have jumpedmore than 300 percent since 1980. At the 99th percentile — about $300,000 today — real pay has roughly doubled.”

it obviously doesn’t discourage people from making money. someone who wants to be an entrepeneur and be their own boss doesn’t say ‘you know, i think i’m not going to do this because if i’m successful i’ll have to pay 30% taxes on my 300k in earnings. so i’ll just keep making 50k so i don’t have to pay more taxes.’ i hear people make that argument and it’s just nonsense. someone has to pay the taxes, i’d rather kick the rich while they’re up than kick the poor while they’re down. besides, 64% of people making 250k or more think they should pay more taxes, according to cnbc.
How would we know which ones of them work harder?
…Doesn’t that discourage people from making more money and trying hader in life?…
No, it doesn’t.
LIE-berals want to punish the productive members of society.
More production = more punishment (HIGHER TAXES).
What makes you think they work harder?
No, it doesn’t discourage people from making more money, because that’s exactly what they’ll end up with: more money.
As to doctors, I happen to know a doctor that owns like about 5 houses, and I hardly think that is necessary. I don’t think reducing that to maybe, I don’t know… 2, is a big deal.
