The USA is not being supported inordinately on the backs of the wealthy. In fact the most wealthy are actually paying BELOW their fair share,
Top 5% are paying 53% into the national coffers. But they control 57%.
(That MEANS that the "rest of us" are paying a larger percentage of our incomes to support this nation than the top 5.)
The top 20% control more than 80% of the wealth.
Our burden should be proportionate to the percentage of the country's wealth that an individual owns.
That's a very important bit of information that Limbaugh deliberately excludes from his charts. He fails to tell us that those percentages are the way they are because, generally those percentages CONTROL that amount of this nations earnings.
