That would be because the top 1% shows hardly any taxable income
Spending is of course an issue that we can all agree on but its kinda off topic per this thread. The topic is the very wealthy paying their fair share during times of recession when everyone else is hurting and they're profits are soaring.
These "evil" Liberals would rather pay higher taxes then see Educators lose their Benefits and taking on pay cuts (the type of
cuts going on). Its almost like they care more for our Countries people as a whole rather banking another mill. in tax loop holes.
