I just noticed somebody was SHOCKED to here that the Top %50 pay %96 of Federal taxes It seemed that people are outraged by this or thought that it was a Myth.
Did anyone see where this top %50 starts? Did anyone look? @ $27,682 that is beans people in the bottom %50 get no tax relief on State, city, county, sales, ECT. ECT. After that these people don't have anything to spend. Maybe those at 27K are not too bad off but what about those who make say 20K give or take 2k allot of these people live paycheck to paycheck just to pay for housing, utilities, gas, transportation, MEDICAL ECT. ECT. Where in this person?s paycheck does a federal tax come from?
If you do tax them it will just go back to them in social programs. It is that simple.
Don't think that top %96 of all taxes are paid by %50 of Americans is shocking or unjust cause if you have not noticed there are allot of poor people still. I guess there are no poor people here except for the guy in the FS/FT.
Think about the amount of a disposable income someone in the top %10 has $>92K. Think they blink when gas prices go up 40 cents. Or those taxes will keep them from taking 5 weeks of vacation instead of just 4 weeks. Yes I am embellishing a bit but I have seen both sides I know some of the greatest people who are filthy rich and some that are ultra poor. Most people who are the filthy rich types understand the next man just getting by cannot remotely pay anything what he is paying and happily pays his tax knowing he still makes a good living and that you can always make more money.
Some of you all in the middle tax brackets need to wake up and be thankful of what you have the alternative isn't pretty. The days where white collar jobs are cut a reversal of fortune for you is always a possibility.
The only thing shocking here is that this is a historically democratic argument from an admitted republican.
