Nope, I am just showing the heaviest federal taxes as a % of income are on the middle class not the rich. Hey but if you want the rich guy to pay the same % we can start with uncapping social security taxes. That way you’d pay the same 12.4% if you made a $1 or $100 million dollars.
Of course that is the great con conservatives are trying to pull they want a flat income tax, but they want to keep the regressive social security tax and federal gasoline taxes as they are. For those of you not familiar with regressive taxes they are taxes where the taxation rate goes up as you make less money.
