Why should the wealthiest 3% not have to pay for Social Security like everyone else?

Tax the rich and tax the CHURCHES

@ClarusVisum Why should people who have worked hard for their money have to give their money to the lazy drunk homeless man under the bridge?

Also I see you commented on this video 2 years ago.. So how is Obama going for you?

Perhaps We should all declare our homes a church & avoid taxes all together. lol After all The Bible states "Where two or more are gathered in my name, there will I (God) be also. SOOOOoooo ... wouldn't that By it's very definition be a church ??

@ClarusVisum In 2008, the top 5% was burdened with 58.72% of total federal income tax revenue. In 2007, the top 1% payed MORE than the bottom 95%!!! GET A CLUE!

how am i a idiot, my dad got a md from harvard and he happens to making a salary in the top 3% of the U.S. People in this income bracket worked to earn what they have, it usually was not just inherited wealth. Also I am definetly not a idiot, i attend a top 20 university and don't pick fights online to get over the fact that i work as a barista at starbucks, blaming rich people for my problems and writing a memoir that nobody will read.

@JPM0TU Nah, smokers aren't people.

@coolbji Your dad got rich because of the country you live in. Poor and middle class people are a part of that country. Before your dad was rich, he might of relied on safety nets: public education and EI...

@Cronaldo77100 the people who make the most money don't do any work at all, you stupid idiot.

[Cronaldo77100]

CLARUSVISUM, the wealthiest 3% do have to pay social security, this just means that they will have to pay more money out of their bank accounts to subsidise poor people. What is weird about this video's comments is that everyone is so against people being successful. Someone who makes 250,000 makes that because they work hard, I'm not saying a factory worker does not work hard, but a doctor went through a whole lot more to get to where he is today.

rich people smoke too!
