but the rich pay most of the income taxes. the top 5% pay more than the rest of the country combined. and Obama claims the rich don't pay their fair share
Federal income taxes are less than half of all taxes. Why do you continuously obsess over only that slice of taxes and act like they represent all taxes? We keep pointing it out, yet you keep doing it...
But, regardless, that's just a testament to how severely imbalanced the distribution of wealth is in this country. That means the way we have the system set up is resulting in more money flowing to them than should be, not less.
