I love when people say bullshit facts to start their article. “Forcing each American to fork over $2,200 at a time when median family income has declined by as much is no way to improve the economy.” :blah:
While if it were true, they would be right. Unfortunately that’s about as true as when some of our city’s economic masterminds bitch about how “they built Heinz field and PNC park with my tax money” or how “I am the one who has to bail the economy that George Bush wrecked with higher interest.” Please, the people that say that shit should be shown their square foot of concrete that they paid for, and they should just be thankful that there are ‘bastard CEOs’ out there that employ them. If they could have thought of it and built their business plan, they would be rich too. But they’re not.
“Americans making $60,000 or more a year pay some 85 percent of all federal taxation, notes the Tax Foundation, yet that group receives only about 66 cents for every federal tax dollar extracted. The top one percent pays more than 10 times the amount that the entire bottom 50 percent pays in federal income taxes. (This is why tax cuts frequently don’t go to “the poor”; that group effectively pays no federal income taxes in the first place.)”http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0JZS/is_/ai_n25006074
