The top 25% pay 84.5% of the taxes.

The top 1% pay 36.89% of all taxes.

You take out the wealth producing class and after the initial government theft, tax revenues will crash.

The US is the only superpower for a reason, we are RICH, we are rich because we allow people to be rich, who in turn pay a shitload of tax money, disproportionately already.

host wants to destroy the very hand that feeds the federal government in an idealistic fantasy world where somehow punishing those with wealth will make people richer as a whole completely oblivious to the fact that wealth needs to be CREATED it doesn't just happen. The rich already pay for most of this country, the top 50% earners by 96.7% of all income taxes. Think about that, half the country pay for just about NOTHING and yet they deserve more from the government?

Robert Heinlein described socialism as a disease, and I can't think of a more apt description. Its sick to think about what these people want to do to the country.
