Rich pay 50% of country’s taxes.

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

RICH PAY 50% OF COUNTRY’S TAXES.



This is what is call “radical right wing spin.” Although the rich pay 50% of the county’s taxes they still only pay less than 2 % of the wealth and federal, state and local income or none at all.



“The wealthy on the only people that create jobs.” More radical right wing spin. SOME wealthy create jobs in this country and SOME create jobs in India, Mexico, etc. IF tax cuts for the rich create jobs, why is this country unemployment rate at 9.2% and 14 million people lost their jobs since the tax cuts?



This is the rhetoric that the radical right wing peach because this is what the dummies of America wants to hear but most Americans are not dummies and can do the math

You want more spin? "The Rich Pay less in taxes than the Poor"

That page is only for earned income. Most of the uber-rich get most of their income by capital gains, and pay 15%. The average rate of taxation on the top 400 incomes is 17%. That's lower than much of the middle class and the less uber-rich.

Perhaps the biggest injustice isn't that the rich don't pay enough taxes - its that a doctor, lawyer, or business owner who works his ass off to bring in $500,000 or $1,000,000 a year pays nearly 1/3 of his income in taxes while someone who makes 10 times as much as them doing less actual work pays 1/6 of their income.
