- "I support a more progressive tax structure similar to the Eisenhower years, but only for the top fraction of one percent of income earners, and remember, only on their highest income. Times have changed. The top one percent category should be further broken down into categories, since it's the top fraction of one percent of income earners who are the ones making the most off everyone else.Our nation is in financial dire straits, and sacrifices must be made to make up for all the wasteful spending over the last several decades. Therefore I suggest the bottom of the top one percent of income earners be taxed at 50%, which is 20% lower than they paid all the way until the 1980's under Ronald Reagan. Before I scare people in this category off, remember that my other issues will more than make up for this "loss."" (www.electelaine.com)
