[quote=poorgradstudent][quote=flu]I’d like to see the numbers before and after taxes. I’d say a majority of the folks in the 90-99% category end up much lower after bending over…[/quote]
Probably about 20% lower? Of course, then you’d have to factor after taxes in for everyone. Rich people don’t pay THAT much more in taxes than the middle class. Especially if they have investment/dividend income, like Mitt Romney, who paid a lower tax rate than I did last year.[/quote]
Actually, if it was ordinary income, some of ends up being taxed fed+state close to 27%-30%..
Romney types that have offshore tax havens, on the other hand, I’d agree with you.
