[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 478898, member: 1863"] The vitriol against wealthy people is disgusting. I am not wealthy but would one day like to be. I do not think that wealthy people should bear more of a burden than I do for the existence and well being of this country. They got rich by a combination of luck, hard work, opportunity and smarts. Very few people left in the US that come from old, inherited money. The Congressional Budget Office released a report day before yesterday showing the break down of income taxes. The top 1% of wage earners pay 39% of all income taxes. The Top 5% of wage earners pay 54.36% of all income taxes and the top 10% pay around 65.84% of all income taxes and the top 50% of wage earners pay 96.54 of all the income tax. Does not sound fair to me. We penalize someone for working hard and making more money????? The lower 50% of wage earners pay almost no taxes.......the whole burden is upon those that strive to have more and are more productive in doing so. [/QUOTE]
