Seems the rich pay the majority of the taxes..that poster hasn't left the Dems plantation..I'm just curious. Who doesn't want billionaires to pay what they owe? Who doesn't want EVERYONE to pay 'their fair share'? If billionaires aren't paying enough of their income, that is not due to cheating or whatever the proletariat thinks it is, but it is due to a tax code that allows them to do so.
When the guy says “pay what they owe” he means the “fair share” nonsense.I'm just curious. Who doesn't want billionaires to pay what they owe? Who doesn't want EVERYONE to pay 'their fair share'?

Altogether, the top 50 percent of filers earned 90 percent of all income and were responsible for 98 percent of all income taxes paid in 2021. The other half of earners, those with incomes below $46,637, collectively paid 2.3 percent of all income taxes in 2021.
So you think that the earners that pay 98% of the taxes need to pay more??I'm all for lower class persons paying more in taxes. But I'm also for the highest earners paying more, as well.
Wonder what the stats would be for everyone paying, say, 5 percent more per year and what that would do to the debt over time.

Very little impact. Tax revenues, going all the way back to the 40s, fluctuate around 18-22% of GDP regardless of rates. Increased rates do not correlate with increased revenue relative to GDP.I'm all for lower class persons paying more in taxes. But I'm also for the highest earners paying more, as well.
