You guys are always saying the rich need to pay their fair share when it comes to taxes. Why?
Despite having multiple loopholes and tax shelters they are the ones paying the lions share of our nations bills while nearly half pay nothing. It seems to me that this argument has to sound silly to most people since so many pay nothing at all. And I'm not referring to state, local or sales tax.
So who isn't paying their share? I say the bottom half.
To put it simply......the rich receive more government benefits than any welfare queen could ever dream of
Want to build a new factory? Count on the government to provide you new roads, water systems, communications and trained workers so you can make more profit
Foreign government interfering with your overseas operations? Count on our government to send military forces to keep them in line
Don't feel like paying your workers a wage they can live on or any benefits? Don't worry,the government will give your workers housing and food subsidies so you can save on wages
The Golden Rule says "He who has the gold makes the rules" and the rich make sure the rules are set so they can make more money. Just don't ask them to actually contribute
