We do not need innuendo, opinions or BS.

Then why did you just post a comment with no cite?

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.

Then provide cites to prove it.

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:

http://ntu.org/tax-basics/who-pays-income-taxes.html

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!

Then you should have no problem showing a cite for your claim.
Otherwise, we may have to think you simply pulled it out of your ass.

So, let me cut to the chase here, since 1% of the people make 42.7
percent of the financial wealth, they should pay for 42.7 percent of the
cost of the roads, the public utilities, the parks, the state budget,
the federal budget, etc.

And, since 50.3 percent of the people get half of the financial wealth,
they should be paying over half the costs of all these government
costs. And, they should be damn anxious to pay them, after all, that is
the system which is allowing their financial wealth.

They do. Those roads, public utilities, parks, state budgets, federal
budgets are paid mostly by income taxes, excise taxes, use taxes,
gasoline taxes and some special use taxes. Are you under the impression
that wealthy folks don't have to pay those?

Hmmmm, you do realize, one hopes, that their financial wealth is one of
the things that provides for worker bees....like employment, pay,
benefits, etc..
