Why Is Fair Called Class Warfare?

Why are we so fixated on the tax rates instead of the whole issue of who is paying how much and by what means they do it?

 If the middle class had access to as many deductions as corporate managers then there may be a more even playing field. Besides the President has talked about these loopholes in his speeches, and yet all you hear back from the talking heads on the right is that he wants to raise everyone's taxes.

 What if the only tax breaks you get are for dependents, (care of disabled parent and children) and the interest on the purchase of a home or two?

 I have even wondered that if we still had the ability to take a deduction for the interest on a loan for a car, as we once did, if that would not have been a better solution for the car industry. Make these the only deductions you can take and that would right there start bringing in immediate funds to the treasury and be a more level deduction field.

 Then begin taking a serious look at the rate at which everyone pays taxes. No more stashing your money in funds without paying taxes on the earnings except for college or medical use, again a more level field.

 Of course, you say, what if you lost money in that fund? I know this is a very simplistic view of the situation but all I am saying is to have a more level approach and then you would bring back the American dream for people to have a chance to bring their standard of living up by working hard and giving the less fortunate the ability to live in a society that does not throw them to the gutter.

 We must care for our veterans with the latest and best technology available, teach every child like he or she is the child of President Obama or Bill Gates and continue to be the model country we aim to be. 

So no matter whether we are Republican, Democrat or Independent, fair is fair and hard work should be rewarded with a chance to make a better life.
