Why does no one talk about how much the top 1% make off the rest of us taxpayers? [View all]

I mean our tax dollars going right into their pockets. Think about it. Some of those guys are way in the black when it comes to taxes.

A high paid corporate office who's company does a lot of business with the federal and state/s government. He or she is raking in a fortune, and it's our tax dollars. What they pay in taxes, especially if they use all the tricks available, is a joke compared to what they pull in. Some real analysis might show most of them come out way ahead in net tax dollars. Yet they have the bumpkins convinced they are taxed to death!

They buy Congessman and pay lobbyists a fortune. Who believes they are buying a system where they get the short end of the stick?
