I would like anyone who thinks that the tax system in our country is unfair to the wealthy to look at these 2 sites and do some math: Who Pays Income Taxes? See Who Pays What and Wealth Distribution

Now, consider -

The top 10% on the income scale control 71.2 % of the wealth and pay 70.3 % of the taxes. Seems like they are ahead by almost 1% in the game and they ought to quit complaining based on that fact alone. But also consider that even though they pay right on track for what they control, they could wipe their butts with hundred dollars bills and still live better than the bottom 1/3 of the country. I think it is only fair that they should pay even more based on that fact.


All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
