Congratulations to last week's Speak Out winner: Glen P. from Mena, AR. In response to last week's question ("Do the rich pay their fair share of taxes?"), Glen said:
"Absolutely the rich are paying their fair share of the taxes. Every statistic I have been able to find indicates that 5% of taxpayers pay 75-80% of the total taxes collected. So, how high a top tax rate would the naysayers place on the "rich" and how far would they go with this "wealth redistribution"? I am a man of modest means and not wealthy by any known definition of the word, but I do not believe in the socialistic approach of redistributing wealth by raising taxes on the wealthy."
