Of course it doesn't apply across the board....if it did we wouldn't have the proverbial room full of tax code..... Some are written for individual businesses, types of businessses, even individuals....

<LOL!> Re: "All the taxes are PAID by the rich".

Bull! You lie like a worn rug.

As a percentage of current income the 'rich' pay a far lower effective tax rate than the middle class does (that is, if you go *high enough* up the income tables:)

And as far as paying *all* the taxes, the American middle class pays the biggest chunk of annual tax receipts.

This is indisputable fact - go to any reference source you want to for verification.
