And let's not even think about the crime problems these byrds cause-My local Sheriff's Dept told me they don't really investigate/do anything about "illegal" crimes unless there's significant property damage or injury. They're a small dept, & simply don't have the resources to do otherwise. I believe in helping other people, but not to the extent of hurting yrself in the process.

Maybe he does have a point. Maybe you do to. I don't want to trivialize or minimize that point. Immigration is an important issue facing America- I completely agree that something should be done.
So, what tax rate would be fair? I don't want to offend anyone, but this isn't an aswer to my quesiton. This is "I don't have any answer so I'm going to change the subject with an emotional plea".
So, 40%? 46%? 38%? 12%?
The point I'm making is that people are out protesting something that they have no actual thought about and they are being misled by people who know better. And it is not in the best interest of our country. If people are out protesting the action of our government claiming their paying taxes that are too high, it is appropriate to ask them what taxes should be, right? So how much?
