    Western Europe does it right. Tax the uber rich and take care of all the people. Call it mixed market or whatever you want. Of course they let in tons of refugees..

    Why doesn't the equal protection and application of the law
    promised in the constitution extend to rich people?

    Top 1% of income earners are already paying close to 40% of all income taxes. How much more do you think they should pay? And why do you think that it's the role of government to take care of people? I look at government operations like the VA and I want nothing to fucking do with the government taking care of me.

    Again with you citing nothing but your ignorant twat of a mouth in order to call my statement a lie. Btw, this is the same fucking mouth that claimed Medicare doesn't add to our national debt. As I recall, when I claimed it did you called that "extreme ignorance."

    Funny how I supposedly have this "extreme ignorance" and yet I'm constantly exposing your ignorant ass Hondo.

    Let me predict the future. Hondo will either run and hide like a Kunt refusing to back up his mouth. Or he if he does respond he'll post something that doesn't refute a fucking word I said.

    Nice rant. So I read it that you were saying there pay close to 40% of their income. Wich isn't true. (Data is prior to tax cut)

    Another interesting trend is that the very top taxpayers — the 0.001% — actually pay a lower tax rate than the top One Percent overall. While the One Percent pay an average federal rate of 27.1%, the top 0.001% pay an average rate of 23.93%. This trend has largely been consistent over the last 10 years of IRS data.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/michaeldurkheimer/2018/03/01/0-001-percent-one-percent/amp/

    That being said, if you are saying they pay 40% of all income taxes of America, that's close enough to factual. But they also make 20% of all income. That's not drastically out of whack. And when you bring in social security and Medicare tax, I bet that 40% drops.
