What specifically is their "fair share" ? A question no democrat will answer.......
I've answered it multiple times.
What percentage of total income (all sources) do the top 10% of earners make?
Is that the same percentage of total taxes (all sources) that those 10% pay?
If they don't match, there's a problem.
Why should the poor pay any different rate from the middle class, or the rich, or the upper middle class, or whatever other class??
When there is a call for equal treatment by government under law, it is not just supposed to apply to the situations that benefit you, and to then throw it away in the areas that don't benefit you....
But that is EXACTLY what the likes of Chrissy suport
You did not answer the question.
Why should the rich pay taxes at a lower rate than the rest of us?
WASHINGTON, D.C.--The 400 highest-earning taxpayers in the U.S. reported a record $105 billion in total adjusted gross income in 2006, but they paid just $18 billion in tax, new Internal Revenue Service figures show. That works out to an average federal income tax bite of 17%--the lowest rate paid by the richest 400 during the 15-year period covered by the IRS statistics. The average federal tax bite on the top 400 was 30% in 1995 and 23% in 2002.

Yes i did, they don't pay a lower rate of income tax, liar......
Income that is derived from investments is taxed much lower than if you worked a job to earn the income.
Its not double dipped. The government only taxes you on your profit - not on your regained principal that you've already been taxed on. That's why its called capital GAINS.The "rich" use money from their income to make those investments, so actually the gubment is "double dipping" on that money, so this whole argument from you fucking leeches is a farce...

Then we agree! If they were paid more in wages they would pay more in taxes!I care more about the 50% who pay ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING.
as for the rich, I don't care what they pay.

And that's how they want it.

I'm a little surprised they won't, since their leaders have a stock answer prepared for just a situation.
Why do the rich pay a lower rate? Because according to the GOP, the rich are the job creators. If you tax them higher, they will create less jobs. Period. Full stop.
Now, as to why investment income is taxed differently than regular income, well, the answer is the same. According to the GOP, investors create jobs and if you tax them higher they won't create jobs. Period. Full stop.
Notice, nothing in there about customers. Kinda interesting.
The Bush tax cuts are still in effect.
So where are the jobs?
Oh I hear ya! I'm just giving the GOP viewpoint on this since they won't. For some reason.
As for where are the jobs, the GOP believe it is due to Obamacare and its "crushing regulations" that are to be implemented in a few years. This was enough to terrify all businesses in to ignoring any possible returns on investment and to sit on cash instead.

You got it 100% wrong, in that you're invoking universal qualifiers (look it up) to make gross over generalizations.The utter stupidity of that statement is positively breathtaking.As for where are the jobs, the GOP believe it is due to Obamacare and its "crushing regulations" that are to be implemented in a few years. This was enough to terrify all businesses in to ignoring any possible returns on investment and to sit on cash instead.
ALL businesses listened exclusively to GOP talking points, the upcoming potential consequences of a $1 trillion+ entitlement program, that nobody knew what it contained until after it passed, completely notwithstanding.
You sure are giving old Chrissy a real run for his money in the race for USMB's crackpot jackpot.
What did I get wrong? That's GOP talking point. No business is hiring and expanding because of the "fear" from Obamacare. Even though, it's been over a year now and we all know what's in Obamacare and when it will be implemented.
Because it suits them to demgogue the issue by scaring the bejesus out of them by telling them that Conservatives seek to destroy Socialist Security/Medicare and whatever else they can dream up and all for thier power trip.That's primarily because they derive their incomes from investments, rather than wages, you buffoon.
You know who else also derives a good share of their incomes from investment income?...Retirees.
Why is it that liberoidal dochebags hate old folx?

Because the question is Flawed. The rich do not pay less taxes than we do. If their Income is in the form of Wages earned they pay the top Income tax %, If their income is from Capital Gains, they pay the same capital Gains % we all pay on our Investments and Retirement plans.
So your Question is BS.
