Taxing the "Rich"......

The "Rich" already pay nearly all the taxes in this country already.
The Top 5% of income filers pay 53.25% of all taxes collected. The top 50% pay 96.03% of all taxes collected.
The bottom 47% pay nothing at all and many are a net drain on the system because they receive tax credits which actually give them money back from the system. The remaining 3%, of the bottom 50%, pay little if anything into the system at all.
The other little dirty secret is the "Rich", reaches all the way down to people making 75 thousand per year, and included small businesses called "S-Corporations" that file their taxes like and individual tax payer. S-Corps are often the companies that start hiring first and lead the way out of a recession.
The truth is the Rich already pay way way hell and gone more than their fair share and the class warfare rhetoric sounds great and plays well with people who obviously envy and hate rich people(and don't know the facts), but in reality its a myth. Taxing the rich more and more only will give the federal government more money to redistribute to others to buy their votes with US Taxdollars, and keep the Democratic party alive, in power, and in control, to tax and spend.....tax and spend....tax and spend...us into oblivion.
A government big enough and powerful enough to tax and take everything that one group of American's has and redistribute that largess to other people, is big enough to do ANYTHING it wants to to any and all of us anytime it wants to.
Welcome to tyranny...this is how it starts folks. When one group discovers that they can vote themselves largess straight from the public treasurey that comes straight from others pocket (not their own), your form of government (republic or democracy)is at an end. It is just a matter of time.
Oh...and do you think the so called rich are just going to continue to hang around here and let you take EVERYTHING they have?
Guess what...they have options...they can easily live somewhere else and do it quiet well without you.
BTW - I am not a member of the evil "Rich" as you define them, but I am in the upper 50% and pay a generous amount of taxes EVERY year to the worlds largest non-negotiable, charity, under pain of wage garnishment or imprisonment by the IRS...so cheers to you all!!!!!
