LETTER: Do the math

I wonder if people really believe that “taxing the rich more” will stop at the level President Barack Obama has demanded, and that these rich people who create our jobs will sit by while more and more of their money is taken from them.

Does the term “leave in droves” mean anything? And do people actually believe that the increases will not eventually be passed on to them when the government demands more money?

Roughly half the people pay no federal income taxes now, and that number will only increase because of government policies. That means fewer people paying taxes, but more money will be needed for government programs. Do the math, people!
