Lets look at this in real world terms.. This effected them how? They didnt get to lease their highschool aged kids new BMW's for the year? Missed a vacation out of the few a year they get to take? I doubt it.. Even with paying more its still not even a dent to most of them..
Thats a big difference from the normal American who struggles to put food on the table and pay rent.
With all the complaining they do about debt, spending, and the state of the US econemy you would think they would be more willing to help fix the issues.. Seems more like they dont think they should pay anything to help the country that made them as rich as they are and expect the normal guy to bail alot of debt that for the most part caused by them.
Right. It's ok to take their money because they don't really need it. That's complete bullshit.
The real world is that not all rich are evil, and not all poor are poor because of the "man" holding them down. Some people are just lazy. People that work for their money don't like handing it over to people that will not work. Some people don't like the government taking their money and wasting it or giving it to people that should be working.
Not at all, whats bullshit is the fact that people who can afford to do it bitch moan, cry and expect everyone less well off to take care of it all.
And for some reason you are talking about welfare when i am talking about fixing this massive debt and get the econemy going.. We have sat and watched trickle down economics fail for how long? Meh, get over it and do what needs to be done..
Do not believe this fakery! If the rich paid so much the west would not be in debt (though we greatly enjoy their compromised position). The rich should be eliminated so that their economic success will not damage the self-esteem of those not as successful. Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh must have produced this graph. But even this chart, if it were true which it is not, would not be adequate. The rich top 25 % should shoulder 95% or more of the taxes since they hold all the wealth. There is only so much wealth in the world and it should be evenly distributed. Wealth is like energy and cannot be created or destroyed, only re-distributed. Until wealth is evenly distributed, we must re-distribute ourselves through pro-active measures.
Actually all for it, will be happy to help line them against the wall when the revolution comes.
How much did GE pay again? oh that's right NOTHING? BP? Paid less than 8% on the damage they did, meanwhile making record profits off the speculators. MSFT? Halliburton? Google? Oh that's right, they can't even be called American companies any more (even though we pay to lobby for them) since we gave them wonderful loopholes like the "double dutch" and Halliburton even went so far as to legally move its base (by renting a broom closet) in Dubai!
You know, useful idiots like you always amaze me steamed. here you are crawling to kiss the rings of men that if you make less than 20 mil a year wouldn't p!ss on you if you were on fire. Meanwhile the gut aid for the poor and disabled, screw over the old folks that paid in all their lives...yeah I would have NO PROBLEM helping the revolution line them against the wall, and anybody that wants to kiss the ring? We'll save you a spot against the wall.
Its all some crazy psychological thing.. They want to be the oppressor so they stand up for the oppressors rights in hopes they get to the same level some day.
Shame too, no reason the world cant be a good place for all.
So the internal revenue numbers should not be believed? Humm, we are not sure who to attack if that is the case.

Interesting graphic. The top 25% pay almost all tax while the bottom 50% complain about them.
