Abstract

The article offers the author's insights concerning the move of eight states in the U.S. to increase the taxes of their rich people to balance budgets that are affected by the recession. The author argues that helping low-income families through lesser tax burdens can lessen poverty, promote more self-sufficiency, and promise a brighter future. Moreover, the author emphasizes that the idea to ask high income families to pay more taxes is just a matter of common sense.
