DD...I hope you remark was supposed to be a joke....
but, let's look at your absurdity for a moment....
it's absurd because money was NOT taken from the middle class and the money given to the top 1%.....
how does that wealth transer occur?
does the IRS collect the tax money and then the IRS write the rich folks a check????
this is even more absurd because the number of people paying federal income tax has been steadily declining and the welfare roles steadily increasing....
2% of the people in this nation pay over 40% of the tax and the top 5% of the taxpayers pay over 60% of all income tax.....
that means 95% of the shrinking pool of tax payers contribute just about 40% of the personal income tax to the government....
THAT'S A DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but, beyond that fact being a disgrace, it means that your SUPPOSED ABUSED MIDDLE CLASS pays almost nothing....while the other half of the progressives constituency sits on their ass and does nothing....
