Although I completely agree that the millionaires in our country should not receive any tax cuts what so ever and should be taxed more, I do not think that the approach taken by certain individuals by threatening them was appropriate. I think that this tax issue has created one of the biggest problems and is the main factor as to why the gap between the rich and poor is the biggest it has ever been along with the economy's standing today, which I'm sure most of us can agree on, but these hate emails and threats do cross a moral line.
I think that death threats such as the one shown in the article, are juvenile, though I can understand where they are stemmed from. To me, these threats show that there is no difference between them and the terrorists that this country is fighting against. Though I completely understand that words are different than action, but different and non violent approaches could be taken to raise awareness of the issue.
This country is based on principles of equality, freedom and opportunity. I think that this tax issue is way bigger than these petty threats that are being circulated around the internet and maybe it is time for things to change to enforce the principles that we stand for.
