What part of the top 1% pay 38% of the federal income tax bill isn't
registering with you? Your statement that they pay little or
contribute little is simply not true. The IRS numbers bear that out.
Put your wealth envy aside and try to be just a little objective about
this.

We do not need innuendo, opinions or BS. *We need exact figures on their
contributions to the whole of all taxes paid. *I think that 1% is not
paying their fair share as determined by the amount of money they make. *

Fine, you just backed up my claim in my last post on re-framing the
question as to who pays the bill as opposed to who pays what of their
income.

I think the reason that the figure are so hidden on all this data is
obvious -- they know they are not paying their fair share, and that is
reasons for websites such as this one:


Again, the numbers don't lie. I can't fathom how someone can say that
where 1% foots 38% of the bill that they aren't paying their fair
share. I'm not going to change your mind on that point so there
really is no use in trying to convince you otherwise other than to say
you're just flat out wrong.

These are the rich crooks attempting to manipulate public opinion ...
and yes, the financial wealth needs spread out better than the 20/80
percent cut which is happening!


Crooks? Your wealth envy has clouded your judgment and objectivity.
