so you think that the wealthiest don't have the most carefully crafted deduction maze just for them? starting with capital gains tax breaks because it isn't called income?

Why don't you bang your head on the wall -- lol. It beats TRYING to converse with a liberal.

What these idiots don't understand, is that percentages of what people pay, or those griping about capital gains . . . it's all meaningless when you simply look at who pays the bulk of the taxes in the country. The top 20% richest pay almost ALL the freaking taxes, but that's not good enough, because what the liberals want is for the "rich" to pay enough so that the inept and crooked federal gov't can keep raising spending, never balance a budget, and keep growing social programs until 90% live free (and are OWNED by the gov't) and do nothing, while 10% do all the work and pay all the taxes.

ONLY a freeloading, lazy-assed, selfish TAKER would still be complaining about this issue. You can bet that the top 6 on this board are all on welfare, and their families have been for generations.

but as you know or should Federal income taxes account for only 42% of the federal revenue collected. Payroll taxes account for 40%. Care to guess which class of people pay more in payroll taxes which accounts for 40% of Federal revenue collected?
