The problem with this live of thinking is that in reality most taxes are paid by wealthy people. The majority of people actually pay 0 taxes and in fact receive credits above their burden of 0.
Whine there’s certainly room to address fair taxation rates we should seriously consider how we spend tax revenues today. A 1.5 trillion omnibus is being rushed through Congress that’s full of pork and special interests. We just sent however many billions to a country to fight a war that has nothing to do with us.
So we spend all this money and of course it’s not enough. People say “more! Tax the rich!” Without considering the reality.
- bmitc 4y agoThat's not a problem at all. The concern is not the absolute dollars paid. The concern are the percentages and the concentration of wealth. That the rich pay a lot of tax is basically immaterial except that it points out just how skewed the wealth distribution is. The "rich pay the majority of taxes" is an excuse.
