My comment has nothing to do with 1 paying 50%, that to me seems a lie, because your middle class is strong, here in brazil the middle class is only 20% of population but pays for 70% of total taxes.


Read this... The top 1% pays nearly 50% of the taxes paid. The other 99% pay the rest, does that look fair? Tax loopholes are where it's at. Drop all loopholes, and drop the taxes as well. Then you will be closer to "FAIR" than we've ever been.

Taxes WILL NOT be "FAIR" until we scrap this tax system we have and bring in a new. Make the tax system simple, it's absolutely fucking retarded to have tens of thousands of tax laws. Simplify,simplify,simplify... but this will never happen until the voters get sick of this shit and put people in office that want to actually do something.

Then again, you have people on the left that simply want rich peoples money. Instead of working to get their own they want a fucking participation trophy. I happened to catch an interview of a CEO in manufacturting. Skilled labor jobs like Machining, Welding, painting... ect, is in high demand. Yet they cannot fill job openings because nobody wants to fucking work. They are either to goddamn lazy, or they want a cushy nut cupping job and think they are entitled to those jobs. They are simply unwilling to do whatever they need to in order to get a paycheck.

There's nothing wrong with doing something that you don't want to do, in order to get the job that you want later on. Plus you're not on the goddamn tax payer's dime because that person thinks they are entitled to something. This is why socialism breeds laziness and people that think they are entitled to it. It's becoming very sad how this is the trend nowadays.

DO WORK SON!


50% of the taxes paid are near the top 1%-2.5% of earners. But according to Obama the tax he wants to put on millionaires & Billionaires start out at $250K my rounding isn't as bad as his is!
