The tax burden should be applied fairly to everyone. People like Warren Buffet have gone on record and said that they pay 15-17% taxes, which is far to low considering how much MORE the middle or lower classes pay.

Its simply not fair.

One could argue that a high corporate tax rate prevents job growth, and I would tend to agree, but personal taxes are a totally different story.

20-30% is far. Upper class pays 30%, middle 25%, lower 20%....or even less. I think that is quite fair enough.
