Opinion: Think the rich don’t pay their ‘fair share’? Think again | CNN "According to the IRS, in 2020, the top 1% of taxpayers (about 1.5 million taxpayers), paid $722 billion in income taxes. That amount accounted for 42.3% of all income taxes paid, the highest percentage in modern history. By contrast, the bottom 90% of taxpayers (about 142 million taxpayers) paid a combined $450 billion in income taxes, or just 26.3% of the total, their lowest percentage of the tax burden in decades. That means the top 1% of taxpayers pay a far greater share of the nation’s tax burden than 142 million of their neighbors combined." In contrast how much taxes does a person on welfare, food stamps and in public housing pay? How much do they "take" from other taxpayers without contributing anything? The "rich" are not the problem - they not only pay the largest percentage of taxes but also build the bulk of job creation, manufacturing and drive the train of economic opportunity in our country.
It's got to be tough on liberals when liberal media Outlets Point out data contrary to preconceived notions.

You don't mention the amount of taxes the rich pay in relation to their yearly increase in wealth. The accumulation of wealth by the bottom 90% is significantly lower than that of the top 1%. And darn few of that 142 million employ accountants and tax lawyers to devise strategies to shift income/profits/etc from taxable to tax-sheltered. Where the bottom 90% are paying sales tax, state and federal tax and maybe property taxes that all have to get paid out of income.
Wondering. If people that are 'glad' to see Karma come - typically thought of as something tragic, ever suspect that this same gladness for others Karma will end up being karma for them self? Proverbs 24:17-18 just a thought .
Who Pays the Most Taxes in America? Breakdown by Income Level (2025) - North American Community Hub "In reality, tax liability is split along steep income lines. The top 1% of earners paid an eye-popping $561,523 on average, while the bottom 50% paid just $822." How much taxes does a person on welfare, food stamps and in public housing pay? How much do they "take" from other taxpayers without contributing anything? The "rich" are not the problem - they not only pay the largest percentage of taxes but also build the bulk of job creation, manufacturing and drive the train of economic opportunity in our country.
We all don't hold with the notion that the gospel is the literal word of god. Sorry, bad idea to shift from politics to religion.
That's okay Here's a secular View of karma - to point out the same point - maybe humor is more to yer liking
