Who are the 47% that pay no "income" taxes?
- according to a recently released IRS report (PDF), 1,470 millionaires and billionaires paid zero taxes in 2009.
- the 400 richest earners across the land pay a 17 percent tax rate (yours is more like 35 percent).
Mine is over 40% when considering all fees sales taxes, etc, etc, etc. What I read is the semi honest rich who only follow the lawyers dictates pay 17%. Poor fellas. Geez, why is everybody always pickin on 'em?
