If you make 10 million a year and during a divorce your wife wants half, that sucks. 5 million is a lot of freaking money, more than my buddy has to pay to his wife. However, he still has 5 million to live on. He's not in a horrible position.
If you make 20k though, and she wants 10k... you may have to kill her.
The fact that the top 10% pays most of the taxes and the bottom 50% don't pay any shows that the top 10% has all the money and the bottom 50% had diddly.
Far from supporting your argument, this stat undercuts it. You've successfully proven that the rich have the money and are best capable to withstand a tax increase.
Taxes are the lowest they've been in 50-60 years. The rich are doing fantastic right now.
If tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires is supposed to help the economy and they're the lowest they've been in 50 years, why aren't we in a boom?
This whole talk reminds me of
this clip from the daily show. I think he sums it up quite nicely.
