The 3% over $250,000 did just get their taxes raised, a lot.

great. they deserve it.

Yet you still say they are not paying their share.



I think they need to be taxed fairly. Don't know the exact number, as it
depends on the individual situation.

The top 3% pays most of the (income) taxes.

Assuming that's true, it seems pretty fair. They make the most, they should
pay the most.

That levels out a lot in the states with sales, excise and property
taxes.
When (not if) they get the VAT the "working class" will get hit a lot
harder than the rich as a proportion of their income vs the taxes they
pay.
The VAT will trickle down to everything, including things we think
should be tax free.

Not sure what a VAT has to do with anything. What things do you think should
be free? What has _that_ got to do with a VAT?
