Is it still true that those that make over 200,000 pay 95% of taxes? I know several of my wealthier friends have left the country for places like Las Hadas Mexico to live, and another to Europe. I can believe that their absence and moving their companies off shore would influence in a big way the amount of taxes taken in every year.

One friend was griping to me that the IRS calls him and has his bank on the other line and the money he owes is transfered right then and there to the IRS. He really hated those calls, he hated not being able to move money without having to tell the bank and the IRS what he was going to do with the money, they even had the nerve to start making suggestions like, do you really think you need to redecorate your home at this time?

I made the comment on FR that unless we start caring about what is happening to the other guy, the rich especially, that we are going to pay a price.
