The rich do not pay the most taxes, they pay ALL the taxes. CBO report says “…top 40% of wage earners in America pay 106% of the taxes. The bottom 40%…pay negative 9%.” [Video at the link.] Class-warfare politics is a game: Politicians blather about “income inequality” and “the rich not paying their fair share.” Voters elect them. Pols then throw the voters a few crumbs while busily making the rich (and themselves) richer thru crony capitialism, bailouts, quantitative easing, etc, etc. Lather, rinse, repeat.
