Its because it's false and misleading. What is "more", the wealthy are paying more in terms of dollar amounts. We have very high marginal tax rates in America, and we have very rich people paying a lot of taxes. In percentage terms the middle class is overtaxed the most of course. But percentage terms are an extremely misleading way to look at this. Being middle class I'm more angry that the bottom 50% on net pay no income taxes and I'm a net payer into their lifestyle. |

Ah yes, that wonderful lifestyle of being poor. How dare they not pay for that privilege.
