Easy - Look no further than the massive tax break the trump administration gave corporations and the top 1%.  How's that worked out so far?

Given the economic condition of the USA right now, I'd say great.

LOL - oh?  So, we all got a huge tax break?  how was your return this year mark?

While the middle class shoulders a large burden of the taxes,

Above $500k pay 38.3% of all taxes; effective rate average of 27.1%
$200 - $500 pay 20.6% with effective rate of 19.4%
$100 - $200 pay 21.7% with effective rate of 12.7%
$50-100 pay 14.1% with rate of 9.2%
$30 -  50K pay 4% with rate of 7.2
Less than 30k pay 1.4% with effective rate of 4.9%

Tell you what - look at that same chart as it compares to wealth.  Completely different.

This from Pew Research.
No one has 2018 data yet. It will be a while and you can't guess what the rates will be based off the tax changes because, once again, there are too many variables to account for.

I found this data for Trump tax rates
For incomes of
$9525 – 82,500 were cut 3% over 2017   10% - 22% rate
$82500 – 157500 cut 4%    24% rate
$157500 -   200k cut 1%     32% rate
200k – 500k remained the same     35% rate
500k+ cut 1.6%  37%

Now, you still can’t take this data and calculate what the final actual numbers will be for the same table as above.

Despite what idiots like AOC and a few one here think and say, no one pays the effective rate. No one paid 90% back in the day when all was great with world...

Yeah mark, we all know that.  But the point you continue to miss is why no one paid the full amount.  There used to be incentives to invest your money into building your business.  Corporations used to have consciences.  Now, it's just free for all hoarding.

So more lies cemented as facts by leftist and their media friends, but unfortunately, the rich pay their share plus some.

 you feel that some people are less worthy and therefor less human than others.  

Is a Citizen, of the Country one votes in,
less of a human-being than a person,
who is Not a Citizen of that Country ?

NO.

So I am just as good of a human-being, as the, Citizens/Subjects, of Every Other Country on this Planet.

So do I, get to send in a Vote to every one ?
How about just this continent ?
Well maybe, just Mexico, and Canada, which I have been in many times.
And most certainly time my next visits, with their elections.

This is highly misleading. the people making over $500K HAVE MORE OF THE MONEY, so of COURSE THEY PAY MORE.... even if it was a flat rate they'd pay more,  it's like when you say more white people are killed by cops than black people.... there are MORE WHITE PEOPLE...

What's misleading? The claim was rich people don't pay their share. I said rich pay their share and then some.

I'll never stop talking mark.  no way you can ever stop me.

Keep it up; everyone needs comic relief.

No lost. The simple argument is we take in enough money, plenty of money. It's not income that's the problem. It's spending. You just can't keep taking more money and expect to hit the magic formula. The rich pay plenty. Thinking you can solve problems by taxing the rich is fools gold. Stop chasing it.
