Entitlement of elites
You're fucking hilarious you know Readers' Digest pays funny people like you money for shit like this.
Let's see who really receives the largess of the fucking government
Obama?s Raid on Wealthy Is More of Awful Same: Kevin Hassett - BusinessWeek
In a study published in 2007, the Tax Foundation examined the tax burdens and government spending receipts across income groups. It found that for every dollar it sent to Washington, the lowest quintile of the income distribution received $14.76 in government spending. By comparison, the highest quintile --at that time, those making more than $99,500 -- received just 32 cents for every dollar paid in federal taxes.
So why do these people, people like you, want the rich to pay even more of their income?
The answer is easy
You and they feel like they are fucking entitled to the fruits of another man's labors.
I can't disagree with your entitlement statemnent. However you are comparing apples with caviar. the lowest income group with the highest? Lots more dollars are realized by the highest regardeless of the ratio of return per each dollar.
LIke giving a 3% raise in a corporation, the janitor gets .25/hr and the execitives get many $ per hr.
That argument can be used to minimize anything.
But if you paid in a dollar and got 15 dollars back you did better than the guy who paid in a dollar and got 32 cents back
