Re: Obviously not Christian, but....
Yeah, gonna have to stop you here again. Instead of throwing out arbitrary numbers though, I'll cite facts.
​
The overwhelming majority of federal income taxes are paid by the very highest income earners. The top 1% of income earners pay about 32% of all income taxes. The top 5% pays 51.4%. The top 10% of high income earners, pay 63.5%. The top 20% of income earners pays 78% of all federal income taxes.
​
Very interesting.
​
The two most interesting things about that chart are
  • It comes from rushlimbaugh.com
  • It plots wage earners, not income earners
    • ​
    That sure looks like sleight of hand.
