Are the rich not paying their fair share?

Are the ‘rich’ screwing the rest of us when it comes to paying taxes?

I realize that there are people whose minds are made up and they don’t want to be confused by the facts, but here goes.

Although the wealthiest 1% earn only 19% of the income they pay 37% of all income taxes. The top 10% pay 68% of all taxes paid. And the bottom 50% earns 13% of all income but only pay 3% of the taxes.

If my math is correct that means the bottom 50% pay almost nothing, yet collect most of the entitlements.

Do big corporations get tax breaks? Hell, yes. They are the job creators. Ever been hired by a poor person? Obama keeps talking about jet owners and oil corporations getting tax breaks. Oddly he never mentions corporations like GE who pay diddly squat.

Quit buying into class envy and thinking anyone who makes a dollar a year more than you is ‘the rich’. Be thankful there are corporations out there who hire. With unemployment at 9.2 we need all the jobs we can get. By the way, it was only about 7% when Obama took office. Home values were much higher when he took office, too. Of course like any small child who doesn’t want to take blame for his failures, the President want to continue blaming it all on George Bush. No, Mr. President, you own this one. It was your policies that created this mess and it was you who claimed you were going to fix it all. Until the recent mid-term elections the Democrats owned the House, the Senate and the White House. Republicans couldn’t stop any of your failed policies. They didn’t have the votes. Y O U O W N IT.

The up side of all this is Jimmy Carter must be pleased that he’s no longer the worst President in American history.
