Who pays taxes in america

Everyone who does not want to end up in Ft. Leavenworth.

The middle class seems to get hit the most

Income Group ---- Tax Share
Top 1 percent ---- 33.7 percent
Top 5 percent ---- 53.8 percent
Top 10 percent ---- 65.7 percent
Top 25 percent ---- 83.9 percent
Top 50 percent ---- 96.5 percent
These are from a Canadian article, the numbers come from the US Government. I have a son and a daughter that support Obama and they only paid in Social security last year. They like many Americans paid no income tax, although they think they do. The bush tax cut made the rich pay a larger share of the total even though the rate was reduced. Because their income rose. Lower 50% pays 3.5%. People don't want to get confused with the facts after their mind is made up. The tax burden was misrepresented by Kerry. It wasn't true when he said it and it's not true when Obama says it. Notice how Obama won't give a straight answer about the taxes of the rich now. They will put their money where he can't touch it and the stock market and job creation will get worse then ever. The rich do pay taxes and if you were rich you would know it.

Please see, http://www.crummer.rollins.edu/journal/articles/2004_1_Taxes.pdf - now what do you think?

I do..

Everyone.
Except the very, very poor and the very, very rich.

Everyone is supposed to be paying taxes in America. The rich people get support by republicians, making them immune to most taxes, the poor have less tax to pay thanks to democrats. Get my political standpoint. Thats right you do.

Not me. Not sales taxes, not property taxes, no taxes. I'm a reaper, not a sower.
