The rich already pay "their fair share!"

10/7/2011

According to 2008 IRS data, the U.S. collected $1.0315 trillion in income taxes:
    • $721.4 billion - collected from the top 10% of earners
    • $605.7 billion - collected from just the top 5% of earners
    • $392.15 billion - collected from just the top 1% of earners
    • $27.billion - collected from the entire bottom 50%
So yes, Mr. President, the rich already pay "their fair share."  In fact, what the rich pay is quite "unfair" as a percentage of the whole when the top 10% are paying are paying 70% of the taxes!!

Currently, unemployment is at 9.1%. Over 20 million Americans are out of work, or unable to find full-time work; nearly 5 million more have given up looking for jobs altogether.

President Obama's solution to all this misery?

TAKE MORE MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE WHO PRODUCE PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS!

How many times will the Obama Administration and liberals try the same things over and over again before they realize their ideas don't work?  How many more of these failures can the American people afford?

Get involved in the political process, know the difference between facts and rethoric or you can expect the situation to worsen.
