Who says the rich have to pay taxes at a higher rate?

No where else in society do the rich have to pay more for things like cars,
bread, etc. The cost is the same for everyone for the same product.

How come you want to deny the poor their chance to pay the same?

The poor should pay more in taxes. The consume more government services and
individually contribute less to society. The poor should pay their fair
share too!

Amen!

The real world is that the rich are disportionally not taxed as much as
the rest. Their taxes need to be raised and the loopholes closed.

I think that's completely stupid at this point.

Lowering taxes and decreasing regs at this point will serve no
purpose
except ruining what's left of the environment

How? why?

For example, fewer dollars for environmental cleanup, prevention, etc.

and increasing the wealth of
the already obscenely wealthy.

Riiiight. I hear this all the time from the local left wing whackos
too. They'd rather have high theoretical tax rates on the 1% of rich
people, all of whom employ accountants to get out of paying it, than
give up their politics of envy and stop attempting futile confiscatory
tax rates. All that ends up happening is the salaried middle class
gets
hit with the high tax rates, not the rich - unless you define 'rich'
as
anyone earning more than you do.

Huh? Are you saying that the middle and lower classes should be taxed at
a
higher rate then the richies?

You need to stop ranting against liberals and start thinking.

I'm saying that the middle & lower classes *are* taxed at a higher rate
than the richies. The tax scales might not show it, but the rich employ
accountants to reduce their taxable income in ways that the salaried
middle class simply can't manage.

That's reality. You need to look at the real world, not theory.
