there shouldnt be a tax on your paycheck. we pay tax on everything we purchase so by taxing the paycheck then taxing what we pay after we get our check we pay more in taxes then we receive .

The definition of rich needs to be defined here. Doctors, who are desperately needed in this country, should not be taxed at over 50% on ANY income. This is just one example. $250k of annual income is not even close to the top 1% of income earners. the tax brackets should progress much more gradually up to millions of annual income.
