This is utter nonsense. The rich do not pay the most taxes. Your first sentence is true if it is meant to refer to the second sentence. The rich pay the majority of total taxes even including social security taxes. The actual proposed cut is in incomes taxes where the rich pay a lot more then the non-rich. Not just more as an absolute amount (which would itself be enough to support the true statement that the rich pay the most taxes) but also a higher percentage. If you want to change the social security taxes as well feel free to post your plan. But even if you include social security taxes the rich pay more then the non rich both as a percentage and even more so as an absolute amount. Tim
