When you look at it in terms of dollars paid each year, I'd say they pay more than their fair share. If one person is paying $1000 and another is paying $100, I'd say neither is paying a "fair" share.

I am not saying people who make more shouldn't end up paying more, but we need to dump this "fair share" frame of mind.

The top 1% of earners pay 40% of the overall income tax paid in this country and at a HIGHER TAX RATE … there’s a key point there … that’s just income tax … there also paying higher property and school taxes as there houses are worth more … there paying more sales tax for there expensive cars, boats and other toys …

The top 5% of earners pay 70% of the overall income tax paid in this once great country of ours …

The UNINFORMED or IGNORANT fall for the “they need to pay there fair share” when there all ready paying more than their fair share …. and then there’s the INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST who just lie about it …

How many billionaires do these dolts think there are … around 700 give or take …. How much actual revenue do they think this is going to generate … dolts ….

Meanwhile everything this idiot president/admin does is hurting lower income households … but the dolts don’t understand it or don’t actually care about that ….
