Actually, the taxes taken out of their payroll are refunded them at the end of the year due to tax credits and refunds. As forsakes taxes, that is a state/ community issue, not a federal issue. As for the tone of your response, where you point out taxes that poorer people pay, it makes me wonder if you have a problem with people paying taxes. Just because someone has only limited funds, they should be expected to pay their share of taxes.

Makin' it rain for them ladies in the mini's But I'm not throwin' ones, fives, tens, or even twenties I'm throwin' quarters, nickels, dimes, pennies up at skinnies.... Sorry, couldn't help it. For the record, this is from the song "W.T.P." by Emenim.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, the top 1% of income earners earn around 19-20% of the total income in the US, and pay around 38-39% of all income taxes collected. Also, the bottom 47% of household in this country pay no income taxes. Are you saying that's fair? As for the wealthy investing their (not the government's)money, think about it. If they invest in something, it gives that item/ object value. So, by investing, they are giving capital that can be used to improve or increase jocs
