Of course, thiose numbers are AFTER the Bush tax cuts
Your little survey proves a couple things.
Rich people pay more taxes because they are rich, therefore after taxes they still have lots of money.
And they collect less money from the government because they are rich, and they need less money in health care benefits.
How much tax do you expect someone to pay if they make $23,000 a year?
How much tax do you expect someone to pay if they make $100,000 a year?
All of this money, this supposed 86% in Taxes being paid by the rich and America is where?
UNICEF child-welfare study found that............... America finished dead last in terms of infant-mortality rates, vaccinations, the percentage of newborns with low birth weights and deaths from accidental injuries. We finished second to last when the researchers assessed a child's diet, physical activity and weight, exposure to violence and bullying and the number of 15-year-olds who smoke, drink and have sex.
