Not to mention what I have pointed out before when they start tossing around percentages, and brackets, and "fair share".
Let's just use round numbers to make it real easy...
A guy makes $50,000/year, and "should pay" 10% of it in taxes.
The other guy makes $500,000/year, and "should pay" say 20%, to be "fair".
Do the math, and see who pays more, bottom line, even if the second guy pulls all the strings, "abuses the system", and gets it down to 5% (half of the lower earning guy).
Then let's start talking again who "isn't paying their fair share"....
When you compare bottom lines, and the amount actually taken out in the end, the guy making more will always be paying more, regardless of percentages and brackets.
