Rich People in America pay by FAR the most taxes

(1/4) > >>

Trauma-san:
I wanna put a silver bullet in a myth: the myth goes that Republicans are out to cut taxes on rich people while the poor people suffer and have to pay too much taxes.  

Do you realize, that in America, ONLY the rich (for the most part) pay taxes?  The top 50% of wage earners in america pay 96.03 percent of the taxes.  Think about that.


Those of us (Me!, You!) in the bottom 50% of wage earners, HALF THE COUNTRY! Pay 3.97 percent of the TOTAL amount of taxes paid in the country!.

The next time you hear that Republicans are giving tax cuts to the rich, etc. etc. Think about that.  THE POOR CANT GET TAX CUTS BECAUSE WE DONT PAY TAXES!  I personally do not pay any taxes at all.  I'm sure people in my situation or worse don't either.  Why do we want to vote people into office (Democrats!) who want to change that? It doesn't make any sense.  

When a republican (George Bush) offers a tax cut, across the board, to the poor, to the rich, to everyone; how is that bad?  It's a graduated tax cut, just like we have a graduated tax scale.

ANYBODY, make sense out of the statements Democrats make regarding 'tax cuts for the rich!!!'.  They're the ONLY ONES PAYING TAXES! They HAVE to get the tax cuts, lol.  If there is to be a tax cut, it will be for the rich by definition, because only the rich pay taxes! 96% PERCENT of the taxes paid in America are paid by the top 50% of wage earners.  

Even more incredulous is that the top 1% of wage earners in america, the top 1% pay a fucking THIRD of our taxes.  If anybody gets a tax cut, it's them, and it should be, that's rediculous.  

If you don't believe these incredible numbers that prove that the Rich are the only ones paying taxes, then just check the IRS's official site for the documents.

Yes, but do you also realize that the top 2% controls 90% of the wealth?

Were talking about taxes here.

That would be like if I said: Apples are better for you than oranges. Here are the facts.

Then you came back with: Well Apples are sour.

lol@ republicans trying to erase a "myth"...or...truth, when it hurts them...but will emphasize a "myth" against other political parties...if it helps them. Im pretty sure Buddy Holly here...believes most myths about democrats. And if he deny's it....its only for arguments sake.

Ok, once again for the moron I have to explain everything because he can't make the connections himself. Wealth is acquired through some source of income (salary, investments), and there are taxes paid on this money they acquire. Do you get it now dumbass? Everytime Trauma and I are having a normal convo, you have to make yourself look stupid, post bullshit, and basically just waste time and space on the thread. Leave it to the men, and move your ignorant ass aside
