You guys always wail about how much of the absolute tax burden % falls on the rich. Wonder how that happens when you claim they don't pay their taxes???

The taxes liberals claim are going to come from "the rich" always end up coming from the middle class. I remember when the alternative minimum tax was started. It resulted from some propaganda study that said a few dozen millionaires were paying no income tax. Next year, the AMT is supposed to hit 28+M taxpayers. When the income tax itself began, it only hit the "rich" at first. That didn't last long.

Does anyone notice that the Democratic Congress is composed almost entirely of members of the "top 1%" that they spend so much time vilifying?
