dklassen - Yeah, all those freeloaders paying sales taxes, excise taxes, phone taxes, meals taxes, social security taxes, medicare taxes.

It's easy to make 'the poor' look like freeloaders when you concentrate on the taxes they don't pay - like scolding someone who walks for not paying the gas tax.

Yes, 'the rich' are paying most of the income taxes - BUT they are paying a smaller percentage of their income in those taxes than they have in decades.
