Obama wants to raise taxes on the 1% rich people in the US. The rich would have as much money as the other 99% of the country next year.

Marie,
Your summary is too brief. It explains why you didn't have many replied. Be sure to reply to those who did.
I think this is a good idea but it is possibly a little extreme. The concept is a good one but maybe not on such a big scale. I think it would be difficult to pass through congress but maybe eventually it would be allowed.
I don't think this is very fair. Doesn't seem like they are making this equal, which the talk is that they want to be more equal.
I think that they should get more taxes and not have all the tax breaks that they do now. I wouldn't think that congress would allow this because its the rich is in congress and the rich just want to get richer.
I believe it could possibly get rid of the segregation between the rich and the poor in the United States, and could possibly aid in the ending of the worries. I think if Congress was smart they would allow EVERYONE in the United States to make the same amount of money and live equally so there is no segregation at all, but of course they are probably part of the wealthy 1% and some of them would like to keep the millions they're making. Let's hope they don't make a selfish decision.
