I think you forgot about state and local taxes. Most taxpayers pay close to 50% or more.. You also forgot about social security taxes, gas taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, taxes on electricity and gas, user taxes, etc etc.. AND the additional cost added to every product and service to pay for the taxes imposed on the business and employees that produce them.
Don't you consider any of those taxes?
Only the super wealthy get loopholes like the ones OBAMA included in his stimulus package.. liberals and collectivists always "forget" about that. They also have loopholes for all their buddies.. why do you think wallstreet contributes more to democrats than republicans?
