[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]John, it avoids mentioning the TOTAL wealth controlled by that 1% and how much is paid in terms of TOTAL taxation on that wealth by that 1%. In other words, there is a glaring disparity on the respective rates paid by Scrooge McDuck (the top 1%) versus Joe Sixpack (the great unwashed middle class).
That was my point.[/quote]
Allan, my point is its not the rates that matter. Its the amount collected and the stats show that the top one percent pay more then they have in 40 years.
What has happened in country is the super rich democrats have succeeded in getting 95% of the democrats off the tax rolls.
Why should the democrats care about taxes when they don’t pay any?? Why should they care about the waste in the goverment when they don’t have to foot the bill?
