Warren Buffett doesn't make use of any fancy tax shelters or trusts, yet his percentage income is already lower than most people in his office. Then you wonder how much taxes the very rich (those who bother to setup such structures) really pay... Hi Steve,

Naturally I feel as a middle class American that the very wealthy should have to pay the same percentage of tax that I do. However, the very wealthy also tend to own big businesses and are a huge driving force for the overall economy. What mean by this is that the wealth tend to spend money developing their businesses, and the more they have, the more they develop. This is actually a good thing for people in my income bracket, as it creates jobs. What do you all think? I think this is a double edged sword.
