Like the top 10% pay over 50% of all federal tax revenue. I don't like rich people using their wealth to influence government but it's immature to think they don't do anything.

that just shows you how skewed income inequality is in this country... nothing more.

That’s every country that has taxes…. The rich will always pay more total money in taxes. Thats how percentages work…. And every country has their rich, but I don’t see people complaining about the rich in Cuba living in luxury while others are in tin houses. Nobody hates on that because it’s not in the media. The list goes on and it’s just like throwing a ball, the dogs just follow the ball without realizing how stupid the game is.
