I am appalled at the amount of taxes we have to pay. And I am disgusted at the way Congress spends our hard-earned money. BUT, this is the fairest thing I've come across in a long time.

When the cuts were first being discussed, I thought about the "bonus check" those who pay little or no taxes would get. And that pissed me off. Now I am thrilled that the situation has been reversed. I feel like we finally won a round in the "income redistribution" fight.

If anyone is interested in the actual stats, I have sourced them on FR here.

From what I can tell, the INCOME tax code has become more progressive every year, with the bottom 50% paying less, but also reporting less of the total AGI.

Of course, when 50% of the population "pays" no income taxes and is dependant on gummerment, then the libs will be satisfied - right?
