#2 Why would they ask those who pay nothing? Makes it a pointless exercise, if you ask me.

But they didn't.

#3 100% of people should pay no income tax. The state does not own you, you are not a slave of the state, commerce does not exist for the benefit of the government.

#5 At this point, BP is right. 40% of the US federal budget is financed with borrowed or printed money. Soon that figure may be 50%, or 60%. So why not just end the pain now, and borrow or print 100%?

#6 Give every man woman and child in this country 2 million dollars. That is 320 trillion dollars. Tax them at 50%. Everyone is a millionaire. The government has money. Problem solved.

#7 AP, that may be freshman logic, unfortunately it is also Politician's economics.
