The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

And the amount of taxes taken in by the government as a percentage of the GDP is the lowest it has been in 50 years - mostly due to the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.

The top 1% also pay far less of a percentage of their income (when you count all forms of income) in taxes than the rest of us.

So yes, they need to start paying their fair share.

I also think that calling the ending tax breaks for private planes and other corporate welfare "tax increases" is patently absurd.
