This is the big number that nobody talks about. I don't care what your guiding principles are, if you're more conservative or liberal, one thing we should all be intelligent enough to agree upon is that we need to protect the economic health of the country to continue to improve the standard of living and keep people working.
If we get to a point where less than 50% of the people are paying 100% of the income taxes.. it's over.
