BTW, the video shows that in 2006, 40% of total income taxes come from the top 1%, and 71% of total income taxes come from the top 10%. Half of Americans pay no income tax, and actually get rebate checks from those with more (and who pay more).
Capital gains is another issue. Increase that and people might not invest in the US. More jobs for China?
i'm not buying this rhetoric. am i supposed to sympathize for the top 1% of tax payers because they fork over a meager 40% of their taxes? how much does that still leave them with? really.
like i really feel bad because richy rich isn't getting everything he 'works so hard' for. bs
try living down here in the real world you fucking glutton pigs. the wealthy may have money, but they don't have numbers like us cattle (middle and lower class) folk do. be THANKFUL we let you have that 40%.
@Tyco200 So Tyco200, how many books have you written that made the NY Times best seller list? How long has your syndicated radio show been running for? Tell me, Tyco200, how many people watched your television show at 5PM? The last time you held a public event, did an estimated 87,000 people attend it? Where's your website? Oh, you don't have any of these? Well, I guess now we really know that its you who's the idiot.
This is a great book. I frequently get into arguments with strawmen.

@dgester Be thankful they do not decide to either stop working and innovating (leaving you in an even deeper shit hole), or pack up and leave!
Also be glad that someone with even less money than your sorry ass does not knock you out and take your boom box and flat screen TV!

This isn't so much an argument, as it is a character assassination of Karl Marx.
