Conservatives on this site (and others) love to quote the statistic that says 40% of the income tax revenues come from the richest 1% of Americans. This statistic is true.
What these same posters ignore is that the top 1% of Americans control 40% of America's wealth. Seems to me that they pay exactly the percentage they should.
I would not be surprised to find that the top 1% controls MORE than 40% of the wealth
Could be. And what conclusion would you draw from that? We need to distribute opportunity, not money. And the way to do that is through free markets and choice. And with that personal freedom comes accepting the consequence of choice. We need to stop with the Left's distribute money, focus blame. We won't grow our economy or create jobs by disincenting success.
