Quote:The top 20% of all income earners pay nearly 90% of all taxes. Do you know what the bottom line household income is to qualify for the top 20%? About $91,000 for a household. Is that rich? Because that's who is being targeted. That's who is being attacked with class warfare. Under this president, the middle class has been forced to carry the burden of his policies, and they're disappearing at the highest rate. The middle class is dying.

You realize the middle class has been dying based on supply side economics, right? Obama has only been in office for 6 years...


The issues about the middle class have been going on for a long time, since the 80s.


The percentage of taxes paid by the top as opposed to the bottom earners is a red hearing used to distract from the actual issues.


Part of the reason for our huge deficits is because the revenue stream of the federal government is being constricted. However much the rich are paying on terms of the overall pie is not the point.


The point is that the pie is getting smaller.


You also fail to realize that while benefits of the pie going to the middle and the poor is getting sliced thinner. While the top are eating up double helpings of that ever smaller pie.


Every corporate tax cut, every corporate subsidy, every corporate no bid private contract, every cut in the capital gains tax is a redistribution of wealth from middle class to the rich.


But these are things the talking points ignore and many are not inquisitive enough to logically think it through.
