"In an interview on ABC’s 'Good Morning America,' Biden said wealthier taxpayers would indeed pay more under the proposals of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Under his plan, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of American taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.
'We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people,' Biden said. Of those who would pay more, he said: 'It’s time to be patriotic … time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut.'"
I understand the concept that it is patriotic to give back to your country...however, it is not in any way an American ideal to give more of your money to the government just because you have more of it to give. It is not American to be penalized for financial success. Distribution of wealth is not American.
Until we meet again, goodbye!
