Where doss the liberal talking point come from, that the rich aren’t paying their fair share?

If something is following our tax laws, filing accurate tax returns, and paying the required tax, aren’t they by definition paying their fair share??

As it is, about 85% of individual income taxes are paid by the top 20% of all taxpayers. Almost half of all workers in this country pay no federal income tax at all.

And in high tax California, about 1/3 of all state income tax is paid by about 10,000 high income individuals, in a state of almost 40 million people.

We have a progressive income tax system, which reflects the liberal desire to tax higher income individuals at higher marginal tax rates. So what more do they want???

“So what more do they want???”

Should 5 percent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all

That’s what they want.
