rich would be $120K ayear. actually the wealthy do not show income above a certain amount. and corporations pass on their corporate taxes to the consumers. who really "pays" is the middle and working class. aphids.

tonight you are a libertarian. last night you were an Objectivist?

" the people you vote for CG"
How do we break the cycle? How do we get a viable libertarian candidate if well-meaning libertarians like me won't vote for them until they're viable?

NMA (see, I got it right), I LOVE to see your anger because that's exactly what I feel!

" CG thinks its ok to take from one man to give to another as long as he approves ."
If the "he" doesn't mean a willing giver, then I most certainly do no think that. Didn't I offer to tell you what I thought on this, and you said you were weren't interested? That's fine, but don't just make stuff about what I think.

I feel your pain, Mama! Grrrrrrrrrrr

We have already paid a substantial 6 digit figure in taxes thus far, and have $70,000.00 in reserve, which will ALL GO TO THE FUCKING IRS. If I hear one more person say I don't pay my " Fair Share", I'll kick them so hard, their great grandchildren will feel it!!

Remember, CG thinks its ok to take from one man to give to another as long as he approves .

Yeah, I feel thoroughly punished every day.

This problem exists because of the people you vote for CG. Don't you see that?

Damn you 1% folks. :-)

Between federal, state, and payroll taxes, I pay close to 60%. Really pisses me off!

this was a good read in that it lays things out nice and clear.

Me and my wife fall into the top 10%, The result isd that federal income tax alone accounts for the same price as a new Audi A3 meanwhile I am still driving a 2001 golf with 275K miles on it..

Granted, at this point I am tempted to get it all the way up to 333K so I can say I got a 3rd of a million miles in that thing..

+1 CG

I believe this group-XYZ-doesn't-pay-its-fair-share is just whining. It's esp absurd when they're saying the rich, who pay most of the taxes, don't pay enough. The gov't generally taxes 20% of income. Half the people pay almost nothing. Upper-middle class earners pay 20%. The rich pay in the 35% range, not counting state. The problem is the gov't is spending too much, not that someone else isn't pay enough taxes.
