I'm not talking about the inheritance tax. I'm talking about income taxes. There are so many loopholes that for someone to actually have $1,000,000 in income, they would have had to actually make hundreds of times more than that. I'm not talking about redistribution of wealth, just what's fair. In this country, the more you make, the less you pay in taxes because of all the loopholes. Explain why Warren Buffet's secretary should pay more in taxes than he does, because that really irks me.

There should be a flat tax based on your income, no loopholes, no deductions, then maybe the tax system would be fair. Since that isn't going to happen, the richest people should pay more - just to make up for their loopholes that they created for themselves.
