I am so sick of this "fair share" bull shit.
1999 the top 5% paid 55.45% of all income taxes and the bottom 95% paid 44.55%
2000 the top 5% paid 56.47% of all income taxes and the bottom 95% paid 43.53%
2001 the top 5% paid 53.25% of all income taxes and the bottom 95% paid 46.75%
2002 the top 5% paid 53.80% of all income taxes and the bottom 95% paid 46.20%
2003 the top 5% paid 54.36% of all income taxes and the bottom 95% paid 45.64%
2004 the top 5% paid 57.13% of all income taxes and the bottom 95% paid 42.87%
2005 the top 5% paid 59.67% of all income taxes and the bottom 95% paid 40.33%
2006 the top 5% paid 60.14% of all income taxes and the bottom 95% paid 39.86%
Seems to me the top 5% are paying more than their fair share.
Who Pays Income Taxes? See Who Pays What
That's because the top 5% are a lot richer now than they were in 1999. The actual tax rates have gone DOWN since then
I already pointed out the flaw with that, but it doesn't support charging them a higher percentage in taxes just because they are rich.
Ok. We'll tax them more because we need the money, how's that?
