The top 5% of income earners pay 50% of the total income taxes. The top 10% pay 70% of the total.

And that's not enough to suit you...???

Pray tell, what would it take?

There just aren't enough "rich" to pay all the bills, they have enough money to hire good people to figure out how to shield their assets, and they can also buy congressmen to make the loopholes for them.

So it always has been, and always will be the "middle class" that pays for it all.

In this context, I define "middle class" as classically defined, namely doctors, lawyers, small business owners, and those of similar income level.
