The most fair thing to do about the AMT would be to replace it with taxes on the people who supported the AMT in the first place. Rangel and the Democrat House need to come up with a way to identify liberals, marxists, and socialists, and make them pay a much higher proportion of government costs. The people who want bigger government should be the ones to pay for it. Because Democrat congressmen are the biggest socialists of all, they should pay at least 90% in federal income taxes. In addition, people who work for the government, or for quasi-government organizations like schools, universities, and public agencies, should pay a much higher rate than people who work for private companies or for themselves., because the people on the government payroll are benefiting directly from big government, and they should pay for it.
