They have all the money too. Are you one of them? I don't think so. I'm not going to educate you. Blissful ignorance is what you want, I'd rather not go along for the ride, but we are all in this together.
Educate me.... you're truly funny Paul.
Look at the graph below, the 63% of the country with an AGI below $50K contribute less than 6% of tax receipts. Might as well make incomes below $50K totally tax free - set the baseline deduction to $50K and be done with it. This would exacerbate the already lopsided taxation situation and actually poses a problem for democratic rule - when the majority realizes they can vote to fleece the minority, that's not a good situation.
The Top 4.2% pull 57.5% of the load - and you're still not satisfied? Envy without limits....

BTW, yeah, I have heard that ignorance is bliss, can you describe what that feels like?
