$100K-Plus Earners Pay 72% of Federal Income Taxes

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

But the Marxists keep saying the rich aren't paying their "fair share."

Taxpayers earning $100,000 or more a year pay 71.6% of the nation’s share in individual federal income taxes, according to the latest data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from 2011.

These data do not include corporate income taxes, or taxes on capital gains or dividends, or payroll taxes for Social Security and other programs.

In 2011, according to the IRS, there were 145,370,240 individual income tax returns filed. Among those returns, 125,914,418 or 86.6%, belonged to taxpayers earning a salary less than $100,000. The remaining 19,455,822 returns belonged to those taxpayers earning more than $100,000, or 13.4% of the total.

While those top earners, earning six figures or more, represented only 13.4% of the total number of individual income tax returns reported to the IRS, they contributed nearly three-fourths of the total amount of federal tax revenue from individual filers reported for that year.

True....

But That was not the point of the OP.

The silliness of "pay their fair share" was the point.

Still having trouble engaging in an honest debate I see.

I think we (the USA) should cut income tax revenue to the point where we are so fucking broke (as a nation) that no country will lend us money. Just think of the debt we will have with a huge reduction in income to the Treasury.

But us citizens will have more of our money, (if we have a J. O. B.)

Would that be great or what?

Well duh!!! State the obvious why don't cha? Cause if you don't....... These right wingers on here think that poor people should pay income tax. While they get poorer. Is that a hoot or what?

But when the rich get substantially richer and end up paying even more of the tax burden, these right wingers on here get all butt hurt for them. Is that a hoot or what?

To the rich goes many burdens. Including managing more of the countries wealth. Including paying more of the taxes. They'll be fine. Don't worry, be happy. It's IRS day.

Not at all I comprehend that RW shoved a foot in the OP's ass. I comprehend you have nothing but "comprehension" complaints. I also comprehend that when someone goes for the "comprehension dodge" without elaborating its because they cannot elaborate and have nothing

OK, then lets look at the "fair share"

What is the "fair share" of taxes that those 40% of Americans who control 2 TENTHS of a percent of the wealth should pay?

And funny how that happens even with a flat tax....

Nobody is saying that if you earn more, your total tax bill should be less.. but the RATE should be identical to everyone else's on each and every dollar...

Funny how people don't care how government spends, hands shit out, or anything else, when they do not have a stake in the game

My income tax burden increased significantly this past year as well... the state more than the fed, but still a raise in burden on both

[Vandalshandle]

...and yet the highest marginal tax rate that anyone pays is only 25%, and the average tax rate is 12%.


So, what the hell is the Op whining about?

There is no way that a flat tax does not cut taxes on the wealthy and increase taxes on the poor

That is what you call "Fair"
