"Right now, we have a strongly progressive income tax. High-income people are paying a higher share of income in taxes than lower-income people,”

I thought the rich were getting out of paying taxes. Which is it?

I thought the rich didn’t pay their fair share. Now they argue that the rich pay more than the poor. LOL!

People like Warren Buffet are investors, and they get their income from dividends, and they are taxed lightly for this at 15%.

People like movie stars, sports stars, and executives are paid salaries, and THEY get slammed by our “progressive” system.
