Just found out how much additional I have to pay into our illustrious state and federal governments. Meanwhile, your average imbecile out there has already blown their $13k "earned income" refund on shoes, cell phones, booze and weed.
Next time somebody says the rich don't pay their fair share may be the last time they exist in my orbit pain free.
The top 25% of taxpayers pay 89.2% of all federal income taxes.
The top 1% pay 45.8% of Federal Income Tax

If you look at the link the source is the US Treasury department. The author is USAFacts.org.
I get not trusting random sites, but theyiterally cited their source. Stop being insufferable.

The numbers vary but the conclusion is the same. Stop eating crayons and actually admit facts when they are presented.
Oh wait...you're a populist, which means you only acknowledge the facts you like at the time.

It’s why I want no income tax.
Not everyone pays it.
Not everyone pays it.

Exactly. FAIR Tax has always been the way to go.

Vote for candidates who agree with you and will do what they say. Otherwise, there's nothing you can do about it.

I think we should just go to all sales tax but only put sales tax on things rich people buy, like Cheetos and menthol cigarettes

I understand your frustration. I’ve had several thousand dollars to pay at the end of the year the last 3-4 years. When you see all of the waste that DOGE uncovers it really makes your blood boil. We started taking out the maximum out of our paychecks and this year somehow I’m getting a few hundred back. We also started an LLC on our “rental property” that my daughter lives in so everytime we make a trip to the hardware store, it’s a write off on it. Oh, and frick that smart arse that commented above me. Bastard probably lives in his/ her mothers basement

Under half the population pays it.

You’ve created these stereotypical imbeciles in your head and you think they actually exist in huge numbers. You’re driving yourself crazy. That’s not healthy…

Sounds fair to me

Seriously though, I have no issue with the stupid tax on smokes and lottery tickets.

Wrong. The federal government has created them. Some of them do work, but well under half the population actually pays federal taxes.

What's crazy is that the current admin thinks those numbers are too low.

I wouldn't say "screw this country", but I'd definitely say "screw this government."

If you’re this upset about paying taxes, you likely aren’t rich.

Exactly. The people who say "the rich don't pay their fair share" typically aren't paying anything at all, and have no idea who is paying for the benefits they get from the government.
