Study Shows the Superrich Are Not the Most Generous

[ferdville]

Chadman - have you ever studied economics? Of course the wealthiest people pay the most in taxes. Even with all those sweatheart deals, they pay the most by a longshot.

Who do you think starts the businesses that employ most Americans? Those on welfare? The "middle class"? Those that make 50k to 100k per year? Not likely. And look at the taxes they pay there. Why not start with matching social security, etc.

The rich will always pay more than their share of taxes, that is unless subscribe to socialism or communisim.

I laugh at articles like this, go line by line and ask some pointed questions, but since I don't have all day I fall back on my standard reply to class warfarfe partisans:

where the hell would most of you work if it wasn't for all these bad rich people? you don't have the guts to start your own business 99 % of the time, so go work for someone who did, and for those sucking at the teat of our benevolant goverment, irregardless of fancy tax lawyers the rich still pay the most in taxes.

people who bitch about others prosperity usually aren't prosperous themselves because that's all they do, complain.

Amen to that.
