"Did you know the top 1% tax payers are also the top earners in the US. They earn 43% of all income yet only pay 37% of taxes." Awwwww! If you think it should be an exact correlation then the bottom 50% (who pay almost none of the Fed taxes) are going to get a big bump. Not very compassionate, dude. "The richest take the most out of a society" These people also give the most in taxes, AND in the people's benefit by PROVIDING THEM JOBS. You should learn to respect these people instead of looking at them as cash cows for the lazy. They will go somewhere else if guys like you get to take what they want. I don't like whiners.

Did you know the top 1% tax payers are also the top earners in the US. They earn 43% of all income yet only pay 37% of taxes. The richest take the most out of a society - its only fair they pay their fair share. People earn in a society, not take. Society takes from the individual (with general consent, i.e. voting) to provide what the law allows for it's infrastructure and defense. If you educate people that their wages are "taken" from society I think you're in big trouble.
