Still bangin' that drum, I see...

Fact is, "the rich" actually paid LESS taxes (as a percentage of their income) in 1960 than they do today...

I've given you this FACTUAL information, time and time again, yet you continue to ignore it...

You could tax all of the millionaires and billionaires incomes at 100% and it wouldn't make a dent in the National Debt...
