That's the part of this whole class warfare argument that is never brought up.
Back when I was making $50,000 a year I NEVER actually paid the assigned tax rate I was supposed to pay. I took every deduction I could and squeezed out every last write off I could.
What's needed is a chart that shows what people REALLY pay. All those people in lower incomes do NOT actually pay their tax rate either.
This whole argument is such a joke.
Fact is people who actually make real money pay almost all the taxes in this country. Yet they don't get any more "services" from the govt. than anybody else. They just pay more.
I pay more money in taxes...more than most of you. And I can flat out tell you that I don't get anything more than any of you do (talking infrastructure...because I have NEVER gotten any kind of "assistance" from the govt. EVER)
