The scary part about that chart is that a very small percentage of the population pays almost half of the income tax. We truly have reached a tipping point where a large chunk of the population simply votes itself more and more benefits at the expense of the “rich.” Our tax system is incredibly progressive. Rates aren’t at 70% or 80% but a large chunk of the population pays little or nothing in income tax, and the top 5% pays almost half of all income taxes. That is scary no matter what income bracket you are in. Unless, of course, you are a moocher who wants to live the good life off of someone else’s dime.
It’s “Democracy” vs Republic. Democracy will doom America.
