they actually mean a government that kneels in
supplication before Corporate America while passing tax "cuts" that
just transfer the cost of government from the wealthy onto the backs of
the middle-class and poor?
The lowest 50% of wage earners pays just FIVE percent of income taxes.
The lowest 95% of wage earners pays just HALF of all income taxes.
Plus more than HALF the "cost of government" referred to is transfer
payments TO the poor and lower-middle-class.
When the top rate was 70%, the top 1% of income earners paid 19% of all
taxes, at the current 36%? the top 1% pay 34% of all income taxes.
Once again, Kevin fails econ 101.
