- alchemism 12y agoActually the people who do not succeed (the lower-to-middle classes) pay far more in income taxes than the paltry capital gains taxes of the ultra-successful.
- wooter 12y agothe top 10% pay 70% or so of all income taxes.. the top 20, 90%
- tormeh 12y agoYeah, but the money is taken from the lower class and given to the overclass by the government through property rights and similar laws. Who pays how much for the common good is an uninteresting question, as money is simply resource allocation by the government/the-powers-that-be.
