Question Vette Barn PRC Poll: Taxes --> How much is Enough ???
What is the highest marginal income tax rate that anyone should have to pay on any portion of their income (FYI, current law pegs it at 35%).

I ask, YOU decide.

Later I'll tally the results and we'll come up with a weighted average.

It will be interesting to see what it ends up being.

I voted for 10% but i think that should be across the board whether you earn $1 or $1billion.

God only asks for 10% why should the govt get more?

20% ... there's no such thing as a free lunch

There's just things in this world that I'm not willing to leave to private interest.

20% pretty popular so far.

As it sits, with 6 votes, we're sitting at a weighted average of 21.67% so far.

Keep 'em coming!!!

I voted for 20%, because it is less than I pay now.

Nope, 47% of Americans pay zero in federal income tax and this has to change, 10% is fair for all the handouts those 47% are getting from those taxed enough already
