Articles like this that show who ISN”T paying taxes are nice, but they are incomplete without the really surprising figure: the top 1% of incomes are paying 40% of the income tax. It should ask the obvious question — “How difficult/easy would it be for that top 1% to opt out?” Because there is no way the remaining 99% can pick up the slack. That would require almost doubling all their taxes.

That works when you actually produce something. Part of the conspiracy to destroy the US is based upon chasing out as much manufacturing as possible. Now we sell each other houses, stocks, services, cr$p food and information. We produce so little it is deeply concerning. The good news is that this may backfire on the conspirators when more manufacturing returns here because it will be cheaper.
