Often I have a discussion with those who agree with the Obamination that taxes should be raised "on the rich". I had one of these moments tonight. Let me tell you...this is so much hokum. Here's a good chart:
The point is...the top 5% of taxpayers (those with gross income of $137,056 or more) pay 60% of the total income taxes.
I don't consider $137k as rich...a couple, one a cop, the other a teacher, could earn this. And we're paying more than half of all taxes paid! People always thinks "someone else" should pay more taxes.
Let's go to a flat tax. Or we're going to have a revolt.
