You're not paying more taxes. Taxes are lower then they've been in over 50 yrs. Why do you keep saying you're paying more taxes?
And it makes more sense that we owe more now (in debt) since we basically borrowed the money to fund the wars. When you borrow money you have to pay it back some day, right?

$50k is hardly so little money
$50k is about 7 times the minimum wage
$50k is higher than average teacher pay in 36 states
$50k is higher than starting teacher pay in every single state
$50k is more than double the federal poverty guideline for a family of four...
It's apparent from this that it is not just the super-rich and corporations that aren't paying their "fair share."

That doesn't sound right to me either. Where do you get that 50k for a family of four from?

Here I found this-
Nearly-half-of-US-households-no tax
Well if that's true that's just as screwy as cutting taxes on the wealthy and big business thinking they'll spread the wealth around. At some point we have to start paying our way.
