Oh, you want to look at STATISTICS! Well, let's look at a few others. nationmaster.com Or, to put it dfifferently, Americans rank 5th in the world in the proportion of income they "contribute" to their government. Strawman! What does this have to wit the rich getting richer? http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/tax_tot_tax_as_of_gdp-taxation-total-as-of-gdp We do rank only 17th in proportion of GDP that goes to taxes. The socialist psradises are greedier. Again, strawman. You really don't want to get to the heart of the issue, do you? You were bitching about the rich getting richer? The US id 3rd in taxation of the top 30% in income! nationmaster.com; Again, strawman. We rank 9th in taxation of the bottom 30% of income earners- -behind 8 "socialist paradises. nationmaster.com; Again strawman. We know your game........you all don't answer the question or address the issue.......instead you provide some facts that you pull out of the air and try to make them fit. We've had 6 years of this crap. Give it up. You are fooling no one. You were saying? That the rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor and middle class. Why doesn't that bother you?
