Rich people don't deserve to have their income taxed more than the rest of us. Have every citizen do their part by paying the same percentage of their income in taxes and then let them keep the rest of their rightfully earned money. From the richest to the poorest, it's their money and none of them deserve to be soaked for more money than anyone else.
Ok so increasing taxes on people making 1million+ is also NOT ok with Republicans
