The higher bracket folks are still paying a disproportinate amount than middle or lower.

Only in the income tax. But the overall burden quickly evens out thanks to FICA, Property Taxes, Sales Taxes, Excise Taxes, etc. People get so narrowly focused on the Income Tax they miss the big picture of just how large the government has gotten.

Only human beings actually pay tax. Corporations never really pay any taxes. They simply collect them for the government, and pass them on to humans in the form of in higher prices for goods sold, fewer orders for goods purchased, lower salaries for employees, smaller dividends for stockholders, and more meager pensions for retirees.

The economically illiterate Democrats think they are doing their constituents a favor when they raise corporate taxes. TANSTAAFL.
