Wow, what a topic! I'll add a few more of my two cents worth then I think I'm done. Whether taxing the higher incomes is fair or not, I personally don't mind giving up more if I have enough to live on. How much money does one really need to have? Happiness alone does not come from money. I would be happy to give a higher share if I know it's helping someone out. If my taxes go to irresponsible spending, no I'm not happy with that.
Here is a couple of websites that people might find intersting. FactCheck.org is a non-partisan fact finder on different subjects but especially about candidates statements and politic ads right now.
