Just so you know, people who make between $100K-$400K a year are not “rich”, at least according to the people who engineered the Bush tax cuts. I want to see the statistics for those making $5M a year and up. You can bet that they are paying a lot less than they used to. This article exploits one of the most powerful weapons in the class warfare arsenal, making the middle class think that they are “rich” just because they can afford a house in a decent area and they drive a Lexus. The $100K-$400K/year range is decidedly middle to upper-middle-class, and it’s no surprise that they are the people who pay the most tax. Third world countries like the US and Mexico always extract heavy amounts of tax tribute from their middle class workers. As the middle class shrinks because of predatory capitalist policies, they pay more and more tax to finance the social programs that prevent the starving masses from revolting and eating the super-rich. Expect this situation to get much much worse.
