Now, how many are there in each group?
Ref: http://www.federalbudget.com/whopays.html
There are 300,000 people. There are 200 million eligible voters.
35 percent of voters pay no federal taxes at all. Social Security is NOT a tax. Do not let liberals add this in so ‘show that the poor pay taxes.’ Do not forget that nobody works for welfare; it is free and pays all medical, housing expenses and much more. Welfare is a tax scheme, as used by liberal Democrats, who over-tax, spend the excess to get more votes and send worthless IOUs to the Treasury and if anybody wants to use the money in government we just have to RAISE the taxes to pay for taxes already collected. Nice liberal scheme. So, 70 million pay nothing. No wonder they chant “Soak the Rich!!”
This gets complicated so from the link:
The next group of voters are the 129 million (out of the 199 million total) who actually pay federal income taxes. Roberts divides the voters who actually pay taxes into the top 25 percent and the bottom 75 percent. About 97 million voters make up the bottom 75 percent of income earners who actually pay some federal taxes. This 75 percent pays a whopping 17 percent of all federal income taxes collected. So, let's add this 97 million voters who pay about 17 percent of the federal income taxes to the 70 million voters who pay nothing. That adds up to 167 million voters out of a total of 199 million. More math --- this means that 84 percent of all voters amount for 17 percent of all income taxes paid.
Now we go to the remaining voters. The 32 million we have left. These are the higher income earners. The high achievers. These 32 million Americans pay 83 percent of all federal income taxes collected. They account for 16 percent of the voters.
Let us think about this: Only 16 % of voters or 32 million of us pay for 83% of all federal taxes??
And where are you on the hit list?? Look at the average adjusted income levels and place yourself. Here we see that the top 25 % of voters pay 85% of the federal taxes!! And, their income starts at $60,000. That is rich?? Two married folks pool their resources at two $30,000 jobs and just make it into the top 25%? Well, if this is the Land of Opportunity, we can wonder HOW you will double that income with such taxes. What is your future here? It is ONLY in climbing the ladder to success and earning more!!
If you are sending your kids to school and paying $130,000 each for a great education then what is the tax bill going to look like when they graduate and get jobs? Higher? Illegal aliens can get tuition free educations. Vote for a Democrat??
It gets worse. The liberal Democrats will not acknowledge that tax cuts (more money for your homes and college and training!) actually help to stimulate the economy and create new jobs and is actually a ‘cost’ or a drag on society. So, they want to increase taxes as they did in the Jimmy Carter days. We all remember the Jimmy Carter Malaise. Double digit inflation and worse.
The liberal Democrats say they will only raise taxes on those making more than $200,000! How many of them are there? Look at the chart. There are NOT ENOUGH of the rich to pay for their expensive programs--so they lie. The MUST tax the middle class, starting at 30,000 to fund their phony social programs as we saw from the results of the failed Great Society, War on Poverty, Welfare and more.
Do you want to send two kids through college and have a boat or a summer cottage or a big garden?? Make it to the top? Earn some money? Well, the liberal Democrats have something else in mind for you money. They will spend it in North Korea, in worthless drug rehab clinics, on phony jobs programs, in welfare, getting criminals out of jail, helping illegal aliens get registered to vote and have free tuition and medical care and for AIDS research so San Francisco can be the Mecca of Degeneracy. Free sex change operations as a benefit for working for city government in San Francisco?
Here is the punch line:
It's foolproof, my friends. If you have 1000 voters who are going to cast votes on your future --- and if you can take money away from 160 of those voters to be used to buy votes from the other 840 ... you have it made. Election assured.
That is the problem we face here. We have to acknowledge that the top 1% are the ONLY people on the planet who can plan economic growth and create new jobs, technologies and wealth for our society. Look at the 2000 or so ‘governments’ since 1900 that have created only war and famine and economic failure. Your phony government types will run the country just like the do Amtrak,
Only a moron, druggie or illegal alien would vote for a Democrat. They are essentially Tax Parasites and no future if it does not include loads of your money. And the national debt, the successful can pay that off. Don’t buy the phony notion that they will ‘balance the budget’ for some urgent reason when they have no reason to do so. Their constituents DO NOT PAY TAXES so they have no liability here.
Tax 160 out of 1000 Americans and use that money to buy votes from the remaining 840!!
All the liberal Democrats have is your money and they do not have enough of it!!
