Taxing the Rich

I think that taxing people who have higher incomes is a good idea. The reason why I agree with this strategy is because there are a lot of businesses and middle-class families that are struggling in this economic downturn. The upper-class should help the people that are struggling especially since our economy is struggling so much. I dont see why people who are making $50,000 a year should be paying the same amount of taxes as someone who is making $200,000 a year. Taxes should be different for everyone based on their yearly income.
