According to the latest IRS data, the top 1% of American taxpayers already pay 40% of all income taxes -- the highest level in 40 years. The top 10% of income earners pay 71% of the taxes.
Can someone explain to me how much more the "rich" have to pay, before they are paying their "fair" share? Because that's the mantra I keep hearing from the Democrats, that the rich don't pay their fair share.
Just how are we to calculate what is a fair share? It certainly isn't because of what one gets back from the government, as that is inverse to the amount paid in. Nor can we cite the availability of government resources. So what is the magic formula for deciding what's fair?
Why should anyone pay a larger percentage of their income to the government than any other person? It's not like those who pay more get Luxury Boxes in the stadium of life, while those who pay less get stuck in the nosebleed section. So how is it "fair" that some pay a larger percentage than others?
