Huh? The rich pay 90% of the countries taxes? lol Countless large corporations don't pay taxes because the "rich" dudes in power hold the government hostage by threatening to take their offices, plants, and JOBS to other places that won't tax them. The individual rich have many loopholes and write-offs to minimize their taxes. And reading thru these posts I didn't see anyone suggest that we should all be equals with equal OUTCOMES, as a couple rightwings wrongly implied. Only suggestions for a more fair progressive system of distribution. I admire your passionate patriotic stance 45 but your right wing economic fundamentals don't work quite as you describe in the real world. Women and minorities not only get paid less than the upper class white males for the SAME work, but they are also unfairly discriminated from equal opportunity! Proven facts!
