"The rich" paying more taxes than ever, bottom 50% pay less than 3%

More of the same folks. The top 1% are paying 40% of all federal income taxes - while the "poor" are paying less then 3%

Dems want the "rich" to pay more while giving the poor a tax cut


Their Fair Share

July 21, 2008; Page A12

Washington is teeing up "the rich" for a big tax hike next year, as a way to make them "pay their fair share." Well, the latest IRS data have arrived on who paid what share of income taxes in 2006, and it's going to be hard for the rich to pay any more than they already do. The data show that the 2003 Bush tax cuts caused what may be the biggest increase in tax payments by the rich in American history.

Income redistribution. There's not a dem in America or anywhere else in the world that can tell me that isn't communism.

and before any lib rants away using the standard DNC talking point hiw the rich make a large majority of the income - per IRS data the top 1% earn about 19% of the income yet pay 40% of the federal income taxes

and Obama wants them to pay more

Whcih they will not do since raising the tax will generate less revenue to the government

I've never met a dumber, more ignorant, and lets throw in immoral, group of people in my life than the democrats.
