Does your perception of wealth distribution accurately reflect reality?

[Fat Elvis]

Just curious how close your (both conservatives and liberals) perception of wealth distribution reflects the reality of wealth distribution in the United States. Be honest. If our perceptions about reality are rightly or wrongly skewed one way or another, it helps to clarify why we (both liberals and conservatives) believe some of the things we do.

Those are considered income taxes. You ignore state, local, sales, property... you know those taxes. But keep ignoring things to spread a lie, only other idiots believe it.

Who do you think pays more property tax, the millionaire with multiple, rich houses, or the broke guy renting a house? If you want the poor to pay more in taxes you have to actually give them something to tax. You cannot tax nothing.

Conservative don't understand percents apparently.

And again, I am not trying to argue in this thread that tax rates are unfair. I am responding to your lie that the Poor have a negative tax rate and that only poor people get a refund. I am not trying to say what they pay is too much of burden. Keep trying. I am sure you will figure out my reason for the post eventually.

/I think we can both agree though that the middle class gets screw the most
//the rich can afford the best tax audits, the poor simply have nothing to tax
///for the record I think we should all pay more in taxes

There are only a few conservatives that post in DC that have a clue about math. It's astonishing how little some of them understand ratios and percentages and how to compare things of different sizes.
