RICH: Wealthiest shoulder tax burden

Dear Mr. Cameron, in response to your letter printed Oct. 15, I have to say this; before you go on saying that the "rich people" should start paying their fair share of taxes, and that the "more common man" should get all of the tax breaks, know this; the top 10 percent of wealthiest Americans already pay half of our nation's total tax revenue, and that the lower half of all Americans don't pay any taxes. So, if we are going to reduce our spending, (like we should), then why shouldn't the so-called "rich class" get a tax break? (By the way, I am NOT a rich person.)

P.S. Dear Mr. McKay, I answer your last question with a no, you are not alone, I fully agree with you.
