Re: "I answered your point accurately on the 1st post."

>>> No, you never posted any statistics that disagreed with mine. None at all.

Re: "The jist of it is I think the affluent pay their fair share in America, and you feel they don't."

>>> The numbers I posted didn't say that.

Re: "I can take any statistic you show on your behalf and show one that proves my point."

>>> OK. Do it.

Re: "The long and the short of it is that the top 10% (that disgust you)..."

>>> Never said that.

Re: "...pay most of the taxes."

>>> One would expect those earning the most to pay the most in taxes, n'est pas?

Re: "and the bottom 50% pay in the range of 3% or 4%."

>>> Bull.

Re: "The other side (you) believe that taking from these guys and giving money to people who pay no taxes will help the economy."

>>> I never said that either. You are tilting at your own fantasies... not me.
