Horsey do do. No rich person ever paid that. They would not have been able
to amass the wealth they did and pass it on.

And yet the top 5% pay *over* half of Total Federal Individual Income
Taxes and the top *1%* pay *over* 30%.

----Down from 32% down from 36% ect. ect.

So you admit that the "rich" pay much, *much* more than their "fair share."

----Where did I admit such a thing?

So you deny it? How much then *should* the "rich" pay if squeezing 50+%
from the top 5% isn't enough?


And why "rich" in quotes? You don't
believe there are rich people?

Because "rich" is subjective. It means something different to everyone.


Good. Glad to get that out of the way.

---What, that the upper 5% taxes on income have been plunging since
WW2?

That the "rich" pay the lions share, far out of proportion.

Frick'n evil, selfish, rich squatters! Time for 'em to pay their fair
share, sez I!

----I know! It's so unfair that the working poor can't hold up thier
end of the bargain. Paris Hilton had to scrimp and save just to get her
little dog his own golf cart and driver <sob>
Rush could barely afford a tune up on his Bently! Steinbrenner hasn't
been to the World Series in I can't remember when. Weeks couldn't
afford that p-52 Mustang to round out his collection of WW2 fighters.
And Trump! Don't get me started.<pounds desk in outrage> Yep, our poor
rich have suffered enough!

Your histrionics and straw men as a cover for your lack of a useful
argument is duly noted.

-----Nah.Just responding in kind to your sarcasm above. How bout we
take up a collection for the poor rich folk who can't afford thier
taxes to help pay for the lawyers that help them avoid the taxes.Send
me a check, I'll name the foundation after you.

Mine was sarcasm with a point. And yours was, well, just sarcasm.

Peace favor your sword (IH),
