Have you ever looked at who pays taxes?


Those who have the most money do.


Yes, so stop the lies about "taking money from the poor and giving
it to the rich".

Do you have some problem with that?


You bet! Those who don't pay any, or negative, tax still vote.

The bottom quintile
(that's 20% for you socialists who haven't graduated grammar school
yet) has a NEGATIVE 5.6% federal income tax rate. The bottom two
quintiles have about a .5% tax rate. ...and no it's not in any way
"wonderful".


Sure it is! Even with their Low Income Tax rate, the top quintile or
two has a Hellofa Lot More money regardless.


Your point is? They earned the money. The poor didn't (usually
not yet, anyway). That's the way it works.
