The data on taxes is available to anyone with an interest in the question and a three-digit IQ. (Draw your own conclusions). The highest earners pay a vastly greater proportion of all income taxes than their numbers would warrant. The "poor," no matter how you define them, pay a relative pittance. Indeed, for half the working population, they pay as much or more in FICA taxes (employer contribution included) than they do in Federal, State, and local income taxes combined. The idea that the "working class" (whoever they are) are paying "all the taxes" is so far from reality that only a total ignoramus would even countenance the thought.
But never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Leftists invariably believe the fundamental falsehood that the sum of all wealth in a society is a fixed amount, so that if one person (or group of people) has "too much" wealth, then everyone else must have "too little," or less than their fair share, which is where the nonsensical "inequality" scam originates.
In their dream world, workers should be paid some fixed/fair proportion of all the revenue that is generated by their employers, rather than the wage that they agreed to when they were hired.
A fact that Leftists are incapable of accepting is that every single employee of every single company has affirmatively decided that the wages and benefits they are making were the best possible options for them and unless they are stupid, remain the best possible option for them...otherwise they would go elsewhere to get a better package.
So saying that they don't get "enough" defies logic. They agreed to it.
