“First of all, the “millionaires and billionaires” pay ALL the taxes. The top 10% pay 90% of the taxes. And the bottom 50% are FREELOADERs, including half of the middle class. Fact.

Yep, and last I checked our military which costs a fortune to taxpayers protects all Americans not just the wealthy. Every Adult should have skin in the game.

To me that means everyone pays Federal tax even if it means reducing SNAP accounts by $10 a month and telling the freeloaders that is their contribution. Those that actually have a paying job need to pay Fed. tax. Maybe that is only $1 a week, I don’t know, but something.

The top 10% are not millionaires and billionaires.

The top 10% gross income is about $150,000.

Net income is probably in the $130,000 range.

The top 1% is where the millionaires start to show up.
