.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
1. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We the People want poor people to be able to eat."
2. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We the People want you to not have feces on your food."
3. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We the People want the men and women who rescued people after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 to get healthy."
4. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We the People want firefighters and police officers to be able to get fair pay."
5. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We the People want all Americans to be able to openly serve in the military."
6. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We the People want women and men to make the same wage for the same work."
7. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We the People want to make the nation safe from nuclear weapons."

1. AGAIN - the Wealthy pay a LOWER % in Taxes then poor and middle class |
|
Even with the Top tiered tax rate at 40% they still pay a lower % of their earnings in taxes then persons making less then $50K annually
This IS NOT about Redistribution but rather Paying their Fair Share

2. What % of your earnings go to Taxes |
|
By the time you add up State, Fed, SSI, SDI, Medicare, Property Taxes, Motor Vehicle and Gasoline Tax, and SALES TAX persons making less then $150K annually pay a much larger percentage of their earnings to Taxes.
Our earnings are "Hand to Mouth" meaning we need to spend every cent we make just in order to have a "Roof over our head", and food to eat. You can't really call any of it "Discretionary Spending" its more "Necessary Spending".
Where as persons earning $250K and UP annually, have the luxury of being able to Not to Spend every dime they make each month in order to survive. Can, and often do Incorporate their self in order to avoid paying excessive taxes by claiming numerous tax deductions. Often times they have "No Payroll Deductions" on their pay checks and opt to pay taxes quarterly AFTER calculating business expenses too numerous to list.
