Eh what? Did I disagree with that?
Rich pay MORE in BOTH absolute numbers AND percentages.
Example (numbers may be not correct, just for illustration purposes):
Earn 30.000, pay 10% income tax (3000).
Earn 300.000, pay 33% income tax ( 99.000).
So both 33% > 10% and 99.000 > 3000
So not sure what were you trying to say.
While what I was trying to say is clear - rich already pay WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY more. They are being punished for being hard/smart working. Not punished, but more likely raped in taxes.
Even if that 300.000 guy would have 10% instead of 33% rate he would still pay WAY more than that 30.000 guy. Yet it is not enough, they jacked it up to 33%. And left winger morons still claim it is not enough.
Fucking disgrace.
