So you are admitting the GOP hate radio mantra has been a lie all these years!Only by CON$ervative "Fuzzy Math."
Again you expose the lack of reading comprehension by CON$! I didn't make the claim, it was one of your fellow CON$ parroting the CON$ervative hate radio mantra.
I merely pointed out that WAGE EARNERS are not the truly wealthy.
Your big bold letters suggest you were trying to point out that the wage earners are paying the bulk of the tax bill. Which is simply not so.
Thank You.

RUSH: Before the Bush tax cuts, the top 1% of wage earners paid 37% of all income tax revenue. Now, after the Bush tax cuts, the top 1% are paying 39% of a total income tax bite. That's a 2% increase in the share of total taxes paid by the rich, the top 1%, since the Bush tax cuts went into effect. By the same token, before the Bush tax cuts, the top 5% paid 56% of all income tax revenue. Now the top 5% are paying 60%, after the Bush tax cuts.
Depends on what you're accussing them of saying and whether it's accurate.
Bump that to top 10% of income earners and that turns into about 80% of total income tax revenue. You see it's the math again that makes your consternation of the rich not paying enough so perplexing. Should the top 10% be contributing even more of the income tax revenue? How much is enough? 90%? 100%?
