the 2012 trivial drivel thread

[Cracker]

So your statistics are valid only if we include the middle and upper middle classes, whom we already know are shouldering the burden. Pretty sure it's those one percenters Obama was directing his comments at.

Can you do math at all? The top 1% should pay 1% of the fucking taxes, not more than 1/3. How in the fucking hell can you people possibly ask them for more?

*scratches head*

Under a flat tax system, the 1% (upper incomes) would still contribute way more than 1% of the taxes.

Are you sure? There aren't very many people in the 1%, many more in the 99%.

I'm not going to explain proportion, but stop and think about it for a minute. If we taxed all income, ALL INCOME at say 10%, everybody is paying the same proportion, the same share. If you have more, you pay more, but it is the same percentage of the same total.
