The 40 most successful people will pay 99% of everyone's income taxes.

This is the telling statistic. 40% pay 99% of the taxes, 60% PAY VIRTUALLY NOTHING!

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” — Alexander Tytler

But it works the other way too:

that richest 40% also owns 99% of the country’s assets, no?

And the poorest 40% own less than 1%, right?

“60% PAY VIRTUALLY NOTHING!”

and how are you going to get that 60% to vote for anyone that would change that?

So, the Dems have it engineered to give them 40% of the voters every time.
