which you like to say we are at risk of becoming.

But no.

We DO share the liabilities though.

Or maybe not. Maybe the folks with the money are more at risk than those without?

First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass

I think a prudent approach would be to find the revenue first - before spending enormous sums of money you don't have plus interest of course!

    and never gotten a reasonable answer when unrealistic whining is set aside.
    According to the IRS, the top 10% ($152k+ earnings which is not really that high) pay about 74% of Federal taxes while the bottom 50% pay 2%. What do you think those figures should be? Note the average tax rate by groups. And compare the overall accumulated wealth figures presented by Ivan to how much each group contributes to the puppet show.

      You don't pay attention, I think your taxes should triple! Inmate51's should go up by a factor of 6.

        Poor folks like Ivan whine about the rich without the ability to put one half of an equation to the other.
        
        Using his link, the share of total net worth by the top 1% varies from 30% to 32%. Ok. They pay 42% of federal taxes each year!
        
        Another stat he quotes is 69% of wealth is owned by the top 10%. Ok. They pay 74% of federal taxes each year!
        
        How unfair it is they are only paying more than their share! LOL!

        White privilege is great especially when you go flaunt it in everyone's face.
