They know.

Let's reform it be abolishing the IRS and replacing it with a consumption tax.

Ohhh, can't have that.

OK, let's just make tax expenditures and revenue plotted every square mile of the United States so we can see what areas pay the taxes and what ones consume it.

Ohhhh, can't have that.

Find, let's at least just open the books of the Federal government so we know what they are doing with taxation..

Look, you know who the 1% actually are? They're the ones that own the government.

False.

In 2016, the top 1 percent of taxpayers accounted for more income taxes paid than the bottom 90 percent combined. The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid roughly $538 billion, or 37.3 percent of all income taxes, while the bottom 90 percent paid about $440 billion, or 30.5 percent of all income taxes.

The rich really do pay lower taxes than us

Lower tax RATE or less taxes....try to be more specific and speak clearly...the typical distracted moronic person doesn't realize that those are 2 completely different things.

They have made Faustian deal with Trump and in the end they will go to hell.

You think that there are any politicians that GOD would actually be proud of? lol. When we get one who lives like the kung fu character from the old tv series, i might believe it.

Don't confuse the OP with the facts, because all they want is THE TRUTH!

When are people going to realize we live in popaganda world?

US tax revenue is around 3 trillion dollars out of a population of around 300 million people. That's $10,000 per man woman and child. Average family size is 4 people, that's 40K per family.

Do you pay more or less than that? I pay more.
