Top earners are the target for new tax increases, but the U.S. tax system is already highly progressive. The top 1 percent of income earners paid 38 percent of all federal income taxes in 2008, while the bottom 50 percent paid only 3 percent. Forty-nine percent of U.S. households paid no federal income tax at all.
therefore we should be protesting the 99%
my breakfast today was two cinnamon rolls with vanilla ice cream, a bowl of sliced fruit, 4 strips of bacon, and two over easy eggs on toasted english muffins. Topped off with a tall glass of whole milk.
I think that maybe maybe only 5% of people or less are in the 1%, sure you may be wealthy and living in a big house and having your parents pay for a 2 weeks at windells and have all the jiberish your mommy credit card can buy, but were talking about THE 1%
um do you realize how much money it requires to be considered in the top 1%. I would probably guess that there are less than 10 people on this site that fit into the category.
