But if the rich paid an equal percentage of taxes on their income as
the poor, the poor wouldn't need to pay as much as taxes as they
currently do. The same amount of money would be collected by the
government and the same overall amount of income would end up going
back into the economy.

Tax cuts solely for the rich only shifts the burden on the poor, which
makes them more dependant on the government.

How much burden can it be for the poor when the bottom 50% pay 3% of the tax
burden?

It's simple, really. When you have little money overall, the little
money you do have is more important to you.


Preaching the to choir, I'm on a fixed income. Every dollor is important. But even the Rich pay many times more than any poor person.

For the rich, the percentage of income tax you pay determines the
number of bathrooms your home has.

Say what?

Just how do the rich get their money? Do some inherit it? Do some work for it (and work hard mind you). Or do some just STEAL IT FROM THE HOLY BLESSED POOR?


For the poor, the percentage of income tax you pay determines whether
or not you have a home.

And many of the poor pay NO INCOME TAX!!!
