yes, that's right ladies and gennulmen...the richest people in america
have a tax rate
less than the poorest people in america.
Umm
The bottom 42% don't pay any income taxes at all.
That is a zero rate.
sure they do. they pay sales tax, FICA, etc. conservatives just dont
think these count
A also agree FICA is regressive (after all SS was sold as some kind of
"insurance" with a capped benefit wasn't it?) but sales taxes are flat
the poor spend a greater percentage of their income on basics such as
food, clothing, housing, medical care, etc.
