The Republican candidates for president and governor want to give tax breaks to the wealthiest and leave it to the middle class to pick up their slack.

Why should someone be penalized and forced to pay more taxes ? Why shoukd someone be punished for being successful ?

The only fair tax is a flat tax, everyone pays the same percentage, therefore if you earn more you pay more.

But to single people out for being smart, successful, prudent, is just plain wrong.
