Who's to say DJS hasn't sent a check, or even several checks, as gifts to the Gov't?
Why avoid his main point?
The middle 49.99% of the people bear the brunt.
I will add that it is shocking to me that 400 people have almost the same income as everyone in the bottom 50% (69 million people according to the post!!) of taxpayers!
And, that was my point. The poorest can't pay much; they just don't have it. The middle class can (and should) pay taxes, but they are stressed with daily expenses. The wealthiest can pay more (although I recognize they too have limits); how many 150' yachts can they use at one time.
