The Middle Class pays almost all taxes. Historically, this is the way it’s always been, and probably will be since they seem incapable of recognizing reality.

If you're talking about federal income taxes, you're wrong. For tax year 2008, the top 1% paid over 38%. The top 5% of wage earners paid over 58% of all income tax revenues. The top 10% paid over 69% of all income tax revenues. And the top 25% paid over 86% of all income tax revenues.

Keep in mind that less than 50% of the total inhabitants of all ages in the United States actually works. The middle class, or middle 50% of all wage earners (25%-75% of wage earners), pays about 15% of total federal income tax revenues

Keep in mind your comparing income to being rich, 2 different measures, think like one is earnings, the other is the estate

[Sherman Logan]

Save your breath.

People are utterly convinced “the rich” don’t pay taxes, and irrelevant issues like facts aren’t about to change their minds.
