We are not using the "Fair" tax method of taxation. We would be taxed fairly IF we were using the Fair tax/Sales tax method. Right now, some pay none, some pay more than ten percent and others know how to use the itemizing method to their advantage and pay a less percentage. Even if a rich man pays a low percentage, he is likely paying more than you or me. My brother and I make almost the same amount, but I ended up paying less than him. The rich pay their fair share of taxes, whether by income tax, property tax or sales tax. They spend more than us, so they will always pay more sales tax. They own more than us so they will always pay more property tax. Personally, I do not think it is anyone's business how much money Trump makes. Anyone wishing to see his taxes other than IRS are just looking for something to slur him with. It only makes one look little and cheap to have such obvious envy and resentment against their betters.
