1. AGAIN - the Wealthy pay a LOWER % in Taxes then poor and middle class

Even with the Top tiered tax rate at 40% they still pay a lower % of their earnings in taxes then persons making less then $50K annually

This IS NOT about Redistribution but rather Paying their Fair Share

2. What % of your earnings go to Taxes

By the time you add up State, Fed, SSI, SDI, Medicare, Property Taxes, Motor Vehicle and Gasoline Tax, and SALES TAX persons making less then $150K annually pay a much larger percentage of their earnings to Taxes.

Our earnings are "Hand to Mouth" meaning we need to spend every cent we make just in order to have a "Roof over our head", and food to eat. You can't really call any of it "Discretionary Spending" its more "Necessary Spending".

Where as persons earning $250K and UP annually, have the luxury of being able to Not to Spend every dime they make each month in order to survive. Can, and often do Incorporate their self in order to avoid paying excessive taxes by claiming numerous tax deductions. Often times they have "No Payroll Deductions" on their pay checks and opt to pay taxes quarterly AFTER calculating business expenses too numerous to list.
