The Tax Debate

Barack Obama says he will only raise taxes on the top 5% of income earners. This 5% already pays 58.8% of the income taxes to the treasury. While watching Obama's interview with O'Reilly, the candidate gave the reason that 'the top 5% can afford it.' Well okay, but should they be forced to pay more than their fair share? This same 5% earns 37.2% of the income. They already pay a 20% premium in taxes. I think it is immoral to look at people as cash machines instead of members of the community. It seems that liberal politicians only see the wealthy for the money they have. I still want all the people in favor of paying a higher level in taxes to send in voluntary payments over the mandated tax.
