Why? Many of them already pay lower effective tax rates than working class people.

@Xuan12: That's the way the tax laws are written. Can't blame people for using the laws.

@lastbabyboomer: Yeah, but why would they need more tax breaks then?
TheProphet · M
@Xuan12: Because it needs to be level among all citizens.

@lastbabyboomer: So let me get this straight. I said, "Many of them already pay lower effective tax rates than working class people."

And you said, "Can't blame people for using the laws.", fair enough. But then, like I originally asked, why do they need more tax breaks? It's already lower then for many working class people, and lowering it more wouldn't make it level.
TheProphet · M
@Xuan12: Because those breaks aren't available to all wealthy people.
