Mitch McConnell Would Like The Poor To Stop Taking Advantage Of The Rich, Please (VIDEO)

[Fearless]

Poor people simply get all the breaks…Do you know they don’t pay as much taxes as the rich, the lucky ducks?

“Almost 70 percent of the federal revenue is provided by the top 10 percent of taxpayers now. Between 45 and 50 percent of Americans pay no income tax at all.”

“We have an extraordinarily progressive tax code already. It is a mess and it needs to be revisited again.”

Of course, that doesn’t really tell the whole story; according to the Congressional Research Service, many millionaires are taxed at a much lower rate than millions of Americans who make far less. However, that fact was probably not included in McConnell’s script.

1. How McConnell keeps being elected is beyond me.

I don't understand how anyone who "doesn't pay taxes" could vote Republican.

2. Between 45 and 50 percent of Americans pay no income tax at all.”

True! And I saw a whole group of them today - they were on a field trip with their Pre-school teacher!

Slackers!!!!

4. And then a lot of people on Social Security and on disability don't earn

enough to pay taxes.

We all pay local taxes. Everybody including renters pay property taxes. It's included in your rent if you think you don't pay it.

6. Absolutely

This whole 45-50 percent thing is soooo misleading.
