Federal income tax, state income tax, property tax, sales tax, gas tax, automobile tax, etc. etc. etc.

That's why I always say the middle class & the poor pay far more taxes overall than the rich. It's the point I tried to make either earlier on or in some other topic just like this one.. ( I can't remember which)
They always love to say the 1% pay more than the 99%.. Well 99 people buy a hell of a lot more shit than that single 1%er. This is why the entire argument about taxing the rich less because they create jobs is absolutely retarded at best.
The simple fact is the middle/lower class spends more than the upper class because there is many more of them, that means they have more buying power and use more products.. That is what creates more jobs. Not to mention, states receive much more sales tax simply due to the numbers games. 99 people are going to buy more things than that single person. (granted the upper class of course is not just 1%)
