The rich are paying more than ever because the income inequality is becoming greater in favor of the very wealthy. I'm sure most people that are in Romneys 47% would like to pay more taxes that come from greater income if they had the chance. What's unusual today is the number of average Americans cheerleading the very wealthy like they're actually heroes working longer hours and thinking way smarter just to keep the country going.
but he does have to pay his fair share back into the system he got his money from.
The top 1% pay 40% of all Federal income taxes!! They pay far more than their fair share.
The middle class and poor pay almost nothing. Is that their fair share?
Why should the wealthy pay anything since they are the ones who invent the goods and services that sustain our lives. It is the poor and middle class who make no contribution to our goods and service so make them pay the taxes at least.
