Sure start by raising wages on the poor and middle class so they actually can get income high enough to pay taxes on. they dont pay federal income taxes due to earned income taxcredits, child deductions etc etc. But you can be 100% sure they pay more in social security taxes than romney did, as a percentage of there income. So this NONSENSE that folks at the bottom isnt paying taxes and we already tax the rich too much.
They think they pay to much when facts is they dont pay enough for the share of the pie they are grabbing. Rightwingers constantly likes to say but i paid 20 million in taxes and they think that just a higher dollar amount means they paid more. Really 20 million for someone making 25k a year is a fortune and something you will never see. But 20million for folks making a billion is a drop in the bucket and is a rounding error on his bank accounts.
when the top 10% share of the wealth is over 75% and the taxes they pay is less than this number we have a regressive tax system that means you pay less in taxes the more you make. It needs to match this wealth holding number just to mean we have a flat taxation and ideal it needs to be ABOVE this number by a fair amount to make sure we have progressive tax scales in place.
