Geo.,
I myself am very comfortable with the top tier paying a higher tax rate. Before it was lowered it was still well below the historical tax rates on the top tier. Indeed many of the poor do not pay taxes. Very few people intentionally remain poor to take advantage of the lower rate. We are slow turning in to a country of haves and have not's. The wealthy in this country are amassing a huge portion of the over all wealth. They should be taxed upon it in my view. Passing the tax burden on to the middle class is not an improvement in my view.
