Also, you would probably be surprised at how much of the federal tax collections comes from the rich and the very rich. It is myth that the rich don't pay much in taxes. There is a general belief that the rich get away without paying taxes but it is a very rare thing. Morris Coats Everett,

We aren’t getting to this in 211, but in 212 you will see that printing money to pay for government services (or government frivolity) is very inflationary, and soon becomes a tax on bank accounts, as the value of people’s money in the bank and in their wallets and mattresses declines in buying power. Also, you would probably be surprised at how much of the federal tax collections comes from the rich and the very rich. It is myth that the rich don’t pay much in taxes.

Lately, I have been thinking that if we had another strong party that would be equal to these (of course, other than Independent) that the third party would possibly help to balance these arguements. As said before, competition is always good for the consumer! I get tired of listening the the democrates and the republican bickering with each other and a lot of times defeating their own purpose.

It didn't surprise me that the government would try to pass a tax to pay for AMT funds because now a days the government makes us as the people of the United States to pay for any major service needed. I don't honestly like the idea of starting a profit tax on oil because gas prices are already high. The government officials abuse their powers when it comes to starting new taxes. I don't understand why the government just can't print the money to pay for the AMT relief. I just don't understand why some of the billionaires we have in the United States to pay for the relief.
