Of course your post is bogus, and dishonest.

It ignores the capital gains tax.


I know you're not very bright, so i'll type slowly. The capital gains tax is considered part of the individual income tax by the CBO and OMB.

factcheck.org

It's a very small percent of total income tax revenue.

You can see where federal revenue comes from, by source: Personal income taxes and payroll taxes are by far the two largest sources and are roughly the same size.

Yet you guys keep pretending there is no payroll tax, that 40% of workers don't pay taxes. That's a lie. Can't you debate honestly?

Who do you think should pay our $10 trillion debt? Whose money is that?

I think the bar story should go like this: 5 well off assholes walk into a bar and drink a lot of beer, run up a huge tab and then refuse to pay their bill. When the bartender says WTF, they reply, "hey man, not our problem... just raise your prices for whoever comes in after us..."

That's how taxes work in America. The right buys whatever it wants with federal tax dollars and then refuses to pay for it, leaving a huge mess for someone else to clean up...
