" I saw an interesting report last night that analyzed actual tax
" reciepts as a percentage of domestic earnings, and oddly, no matter
" what the tax rates were (91% down to the current "Bush Adjusted" tax
" rates that "benefit the wealthy"), the gov't took in about 19.5% in
" tax revenue. When the tax rate is higher, people find ways to reduce
" their tax liability, when it drops, there is less incentive to do so...

yeah, but shifting that burden from folks who can't afford to pay to
folks who just don't want to is not unfair.
