I really don't understand the original post.  I guess you are talking about income tax.

Can you give some examples of wealthy people complaining about paying most of the taxes?

How much tax did GE pay?  Murdoch's corp.?

Who are the wealthy?  What is their fair share?  Can you give me a % amount that you consider "fair"?  If not, you really have no complaint.

What % is "fair for the poor, the middle income, the high middle income, the comfortable but not wealthy?   Have you figured all this out? 

In my opinion a certain % flat tax should be paid by everyone.  And I do mean everyone.  Everyone should have a real "stake" in our country.

Corporations are publically owned companies by definition.  Do you realize that no business actually pays taxes.  It is their customers that pay those taxes.  When taxes are raised on any business, they must either raise their prices, cut their quality, lay off workers, go overseas, or go out of business?  All taxes "trickle down".  We've really had this discussion before.  Libs never learn.

You really should put more thought into your posts Joe.

What? no answers to our ?'s? It appears that hiroad and I asked ?'s that you are either unable or unwilling to answer.

I think your ?'s are a diversion. There are simple facts that can not be denied. At least by those with half a clue as to how the system works.

If we look at corporate profits over the past 11 years in relation to wages we'll see that corporate profit has ballooned while wage compensation has remained virtually stagnate. Then if you throw in the fact that corporations are not paying their fair share in taxes, you create an environment of a two class society. Rich and poor.

If you need links let me know....

Wow.  Such a dilemma for the liberals.  Warren Buffet, who complained that the rich don't pay enough in taxes, has a company that owes a billion in back taxes.
