[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote]Well, the top 1% are paying 40% of the federal income tax. The top 5% are paying 60% of the federal income tax, and the top 10% are paying 70%.[/quote]
This is why I will not vote republican.The statement shows the utter contempt the republicans have for the American people. Yes someone who make 100 million a year will pay more in taxes the someone who make 100k. 100,000,000 x .15 = 15,000,000; 100,000 x .35 = 35,000. So what dollar amount do you want everyone to pay?

PP here. I don't see why this shows utter contempt (or any contempt). It was in response to E. Warren's sort of suggestion that the top earners are not "paying foward". They are. Maybe there is a better way to appeal to the upper incomes than by suggesting they aren't paying their "fair share" or are not "paying forward". It's a nice strategy to divide the country, though. Let me say this another way. I think to suggest that someone paying a lot of taxes is not paying a "fair share" shows utter contempt for those people. That is why I will not vote democratic (today).[/quote]
