Ashley Gilliland Assistant manager No, I don’t think they should. Everyone should be treated equally. They should pay according to how much money they make, but I don’t think they should have to pay more.

Cheryl Moeller Payroll administrator No. Why should people that earn more and employ others be taxed at a higher rate? They are already paying employee taxes as well.
Jordan Little Student/owner of Yards Apart Landscaping I believe they should, because the trickledown theory isn’t working. The next step is to tax the wealthy at a higher rate, because the poor simply don’t earn enough to make an impact.
