Wrong

Let's see, there are two possibilities here... 1- you are
dittohead drone who genuinely believes all this fascist
propaganda, but are new to this newsgroup and genuinely
believe this 2- you're a new sockpuppet ID for one of the
same old dittohead drones that's been proven wrong over &
over again

In either case, you can easily go to the IRS web site and
see a nice statistical breakdown of tax burden by income
category.

Plus more than HALF the "cost of government" referred to is transfer
payments TO the poor and lower-middle-class.

Really? You mean like the way the Parks Service allows all
those poor people in their $100K motor homes to clog up
Yellowstone & Yosemite and all the other choice pieces of
taxpayer-owned real estate? Like the way the SEC is always
being careful to make sure that wealthy investors & stock
manipulators are not allowed to profit at the expense of
retirement funds? I could go on & on, but if you were ever
going to get the point, you already would have.
