Impeding changes to our Health Care system

[Fair&Balanced]

Under your scenario.

If you start off poor and work really hard....and are taxed at (or near) the same rate as the wealthiest taxpayers, will you ever make a better living or will you be stuck at a level where your limited resources are going to taxes to the point that you are living from paycheck to paycheck or worse.

When you say one person pays near 50% and another pays nothing, what else could you be talking about? Particularly given that the wealthy pay a much lower rate for FICA taxes than those making under $100k.
