President Obama and his advisers are presenting the "Buffett Rule" as the cure for an epidemic of millionaire tax scofflaws, but national statistics show millionaires by and large are paying taxes at a much higher rate than middle-class families.
And their income taxes make up a significant portion of the federal budget pie.
Data compiled by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center show households pulling in more than $1 million pay about 29.1 percent of their income in federal taxes. By contrast, households making between $50,000 and $75,000 pay about 15 percent.
How the fuck does anybody get away with paying 15% of their income in taxes? WTF? Yes, makes me pissy.
Between state and federal taxes, just under HALF of my husbands income is taken in taxes. How would these dumbasses like to work their asses off
to better their lives and that of their children, to get promotions etc...
just to have the government take it away? My husband literally works
2 weeks of every month just to pay taxes, and now they want to tax
him more. I find it disgusting....
You are missed...RIP Lady Cop
