Alex, there is one glaring ommission in your tax argument. The bottom wage earners, thanks to the earned income tax credit, get an income tax refund that is MORE money than they actually payed so in effect they pay NO taxes at all plus get money from the top wagers to boot. To say the poor guy is paying more taxes as a percent is pure folly.
The fact is that the bulk of the taxes are payed by the middle class. It has to be that way since that is the biggest percentage of wage earners. Democrats love to call any tax cut a tax cut for the rich. We could have a tax cut on baby formula and somehow that would become a tax cut for the rich. We have a couple hundred billionaires in this country. Maybe we should just make them pay all the taxes. That would make everyone happy, wouldn't it? Then when the billionaires all move out to foreign countries that are tax havens that will leave the rest of us to pick up the slack and everyone will wonder what happened. This whole tax cuts for the rich argument is a load of camel dung used for class envy purposes.
I know you won't believe a word I say so I'm not sure why I bother.
