According to IRS data, the bottom 50% of wage earners paid a total of 2.99% of all taxes – almost none...

Of all federal income tax.

Now throw in Social Security and Medicare taxes. Federal gas taxes. Phone taxes. Property taxes. State income and sales taxes. The percentage will change dramatically.

Part of the problem with the tax debate is defining the taxes being paid.

“Now throw in Social Security and Medicare taxes.”

That’s the part that’s being calculated.

Also, employers match it dime for dime. Never any mention of that.

Everyone is paying their fair share of property, sales tax and State taxes.
