“salient”

97.01% of ALL federal income taxes are paid by the top 50% of income earners. The other 50% pay little or no income taxes at all.

99% of union PAC funds go to the DNC. But only roughly half of union employees vote democrat...

salient? Half of the nation wants lower taxes. That would be the half that pay taxes, otherwise known as REPUBLICANS.

The other half of the nation, those who don’t pay income taxes, otherwise known as Democrats, believe that those “rich folks” are not paying “their fair share.”

Are you sure “salient” is the word you were looking for?

"salient? Half of the nation wants lower taxes. That would be the half that pay taxes, otherwise known as REPUBLICANS.

Is that intended to be a joke?

The neighborhoods of the rich folks (way less than half) on the other side of the hill from here were bristling with Clinton signs during the '90s. Then they were bristling with Bush signs during the next eight years. Most recently, they were bristling with Obama signs.

I live in the poor County next door to the rich. Most of the recent votes in this poor County were for McCain, but not as many of us voted during the most recent election.

Like I said, read Kornbluth's short story. We're seeing the consequences of national laziness in leadership and the moving of most manufacturing to communist/fascist foreign countries.

And BTW, I work with the third world slaves, doing what they do with picks and shovels and studying design and manufacturing tech. stuff in my spare time, because America will need us in the near future.

Salient- 3 a: projecting beyond a line, surface, or level b: standing out conspicuously : prominent ; especially : of notable significance

Yes, I believe I used the correct word to describe the quote that said that most taxpayers are Republicans.
