The information on the link is absolutely meaningless. What is reflected is nothing more than the fact that we have a progressive tax scheme, whereby portions of income at higher levels incur higher taxation rates. The phenomenon that is seen in the graph is that higher tax brackets pay a higher portion of taxes, than the portion of income they earn, while lower brackets pay a lower share of taxes than the share of income they earn. THAT IS GOING TO BE TRUE BY THE VERY NATURE AND DEFINITION OF A PROGRESSIVE TAX SYSTEM. Even if the income tax rate for the lowest tax bracket was 5%, and the highest tax bracket was 10%, the same phenomenon would be observed. It's a tautological correlation.
Is there anyone here that didn't know that about our tax system?
Yes - they are called liberals. They keep screaming the wealthy "doesn't pay their fair share" despite the fact that the wealthy is paying for everything. The one's not paying their fair share are the liberals.
What the chart shows is that 1% of the population (the wealthies) pays 23% of the taxes. Now that alone is astounding and sad, but what's really eye-popping is that they earn 13% of the total wealth. So however you crunch these numbers, this is simply unfair. The left would have you believe (as they state over and over and over) that the top 10% has 90% of the wealth in this country. Well, the CBO just PROVED that is a LIE.
I'm so sick of liberals and ther lies. If you want Communism, have the decensy to declare that, then stand up and make an argument for Communism based on FACTS, not lies.
They use a different more progressive and compassionate calculator than the rest of us
