Whatever the amount of the revenues, only 50% is paying them!
“Whatever the amount of the revenues, only 50% is paying them!”
Actually, I think the correct statistic is that only about 50% are paying income taxes. However, a much larger share of Americans are paying federal taxes in the form of payroll taxes. These taxes are used, like income taxes, to pay for whatever bills the government incurs. I think that now the federal government collects more money in payroll taxes than in income taxes.
