1%? Why do you neocons always refer to that little figure of the huge 90% of calcuable wealth in this nation? I don't know who he or she was or even might yet be, but please go back to school and ask your arithmetic teacher to re instruct you on the way percentages are supposed to be averaged, especially when calculating what those who control 90% or more of the wealth of a nation these days, should be paying. If it's only 37% and the rest of us only pay 10% or less in many cases, where's the rest of it coming from. One percent that's almost as funny as Romney's fair share even before the loopholes line up, why is it that you neocons always rush to that figure and then call them job creators? There is what we call 100%, then you start to break it down and unless you know better than every economist on earth, then it's still 90 plus % of the wealth controlled by less than 10% of the people. If they are only paying 37% at that 1% stage then WOW it has to be much more in holdings/earnings than even we realize, they need to anti up a bit more because the rest of us poor schmoes don't have it. No wonder there's such arguing here, your math is all screwed up. Besides unless it's any of you who are that 1-10% why the hell do yous care what those privileged, job exporting,corporate, legislation loving few are paying? If they were all paying an iron clad 10% then we'd all be happy. Well not those with all that wealth because they don't actually pay honestly under this system anyway. But------------
10% of households w/ the highest incomes pay more than half of all income taxes. They pay more than 70% of FEDERAL income taxes, according to the Congressional Budget Office. I see that the pos potus's class warfare has worked on you. The financial fiasco we are in is due to spending money that we do not have. Is that how you run your life? Do you go to the HyVee, buy $100 worth of food and charge $45 or $50 to a charge card? Should the most powerful nation in the world be borrowing nearly half of what they spend from a loan shark - China? It is all over the news that the pos potus only paid 20.5% in income taxes - but by gawd those OTHER rich guys should pay more. He did not have one problem using all those loopholes. Your claim that "they don't actually pay honestly under this system anyway." I presume you are referring to those "loopholes". No doubt that something needs to be done about that very thing. There may be MANY bills proposed that never see the light of day after reaching harry reid's hands. We do not know. Now please don't call the Congressional Budget Office a bunch of neocons. |
